Kind of interesting how the fan is the only object in this that’s particularly modern. There seems to be some skyscrapers outside of the windows, but it’s certainly not the first detail you spot. And then the shading work somewhat reminds me of American Gothic, which was painted in the 1930s, so early 20th century was my gut instinct for this painting, until I spotted the electric fan.
And how recognisable is that fan, I had fan like that one for decades, it finally broke a couple summers ago. The only difference I can see is that mine had a darker grey base with blue buttons.
