Sure... it was part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal in America during The Great Depression - a way to get people working and produce some of the most wonderful public works of art the country has ever produced. Stands for Works Progress Administration (later Work Projects Administration) and was responsible for about 8 million jobs between 1935 and 1943. It was also one of the first programs which included black citizens in its purview. This piece looks a bit like some of the more famous WPA artists' work to me.
