Title: Woman Sitting at Desk Reading
Description: A woman, probably a factory worker at International Harvester's Osborne Twine Mill, sits at a wooden desk reading a book. She is in a narrow room with a tall ceiling. The room is furnished with several chairs and a couch. Behind the woman is a sink with a mirror hanging above it, a chamber pot, and a telephone. On either side of the room paintings are hung and a window at the top of the room is curtained. The room is likely a factory break room.
