Gladys is a tired Black woman. She is sitting in a wooden chair, her side to the back, leaning on her arm on the back. The floor of the room is wooden. There appears to be natural light coming from a window just out of sight. A desk or dresser is in the corner with a lot of books on top between bookends.

“Gladys” by Will Barnet, 1936, for the Federal Art Project NYC WPA. Signed, dated, and stamped print from engraving.
