An atmosphere of melancholy pervades William Steig's drawing of a woman leaning upon her table. It would appear to date from the 1930s. This Depression-era drawing may well have been published, but its specific context is unknown. It was sold this past Sunday in Larchmont for $500.

Note: Just because I don't know where this drawing was published doesn't mean somebody else can't do better. Leave a comment please if you can add something to this woman's sad story.
