  We calculate the contribution to the gravitational form factors (GFFs) from
the gluon part of the energy-momentum tensor in QCD. We take a simple spin
$1/2$ composite state, namely a quark dressed with a gluon. We use the
light-front Hamiltonian QCD approach in the light-front gauge. We also present
the effect of the gluon on the mechanical properties like the pressure, shear
and energy distributions of the dressed quark state.
