Riley, N. Yorkshire c1910 can anyone sharpen this please

Is anyone able to sharpen/improve this blurry photo please?  Taken around 1910   It’s the only photo I have of my great grandmother and I would love to be able to see her facial features a little better.

One from me. I hope it's OK as my eyesight is not what it was!

..and one with  touch of AI to bring up her face a little more.

PS - PhotDater suggests it was circa 1947.  I would say it's more 1940s as dress is def not 1910

Thank you so much.  She was born 1880s and I’ve assumed she was maybe 35 on this photo, perhaps she is a decade older.  The dress is deceiving as it was ankle length long (not 40s calf length) but another relative had the other photo we had of her and appears to have ‘mislaid’ it.

My grandmother, b. late 1870s wore longish  dresses until she died in 1949.  I can remember her friends, who  called in the 1950s, also wore similar clothing.  It might just be 1930s but no way is it 1910.

An example of lte 1930s-1940s clothes for older ladies.

This is my gran (the one in my avatar, taken 1915) on the left and her friend in late 1930s-early 1940s. I think they had been hanging out the washing.

She was a love, i still remember her :)

Agree with much later date.    Also believe she looks much older than 30.
