"Work Interrupted" (French: "Travail interrompu") is an 1891 painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Known for his classical and mythological themes, Bouguereau was a prolific painter whose works were highly popular in both France and the United States during his lifetime. This particular painting is an example of Bouguereau's skill in depicting the human figure and his penchant for scenes of rural life.

The painting portrays a young peasant woman who has paused from her labor to rest. She is depicted with a naturalistic grace that is characteristic of Bouguereau's style. The woman's gaze is directed away from her work, suggesting a moment of contemplation or distraction. The meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of her clothing and the surrounding environment reflects Bouguereau's academic training and his dedication to the ideal of beauty.

"Work Interrupted" is emblematic of Bouguereau's work during the late 19th century, a period in which he enjoyed considerable success and was recognized by the French Academy and awarded numerous medals and honors. Despite the later critical reassessment of Bouguereau's work in the context of the rise of modernism, his paintings have experienced a resurgence in popularity and critical appreciation in recent decades.

The painting is part of a larger body of Bouguereau's work that captures the daily life and struggles of the rural peasantry in France, a theme that was common among artists of the period who were influenced by the Realist movement. However, Bouguereau's approach to this subject matter was often more idealized and polished than that of his Realist contemporaries.
