    Can you help me date this item??

    Please tell me what era this gal is from! I have this old painting and I need to know what era this gal is from. I first thought the 20s...she is a flapper....but I am thinking more like the 30s. The turban is why. Any thoughts, you experts of the Fedora Lounge? Thanks for your attention...
