"La Lecture Interrompue" (The Interrupted Reading) is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Pierre-Antoine Baudouin. Created in 1771, the artwork is a quintessential example of the Rococo style, which was prevalent during the period and is characterized by its ornate and decorative elements, as well as its focus on themes of love, leisure, and aristocratic life.

The painting depicts an intimate scene in which a young woman's reading is interrupted, capturing a moment of everyday life with a sense of immediacy and emotional nuance. The subject, absorbed in her book, is caught off-guard, possibly by an unseen intruder or by the viewer of the painting itself, creating an engaging narrative moment. Baudouin's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the details of the woman's attire and the surrounding interior, contribute to the overall elegance and charm of the piece.

As a student of François Boucher, Baudouin was influenced by his teacher's style and thematic preferences, which is evident in "La Lecture Interrompue." The painting not only reflects the Rococo taste for depicting light-hearted and gallant subject matter but also demonstrates Baudouin's own talent for capturing the subtleties of human expression and interaction.

"La Lecture Interrompue" is held in high regard for its artistry and as a representation of the cultural and social milieu of 18th-century France. The painting is part of the collection of the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, which houses a number of works from the period, allowing viewers to appreciate the rich artistic heritage of the Rococo era. Through this work and others, Baudouin's legacy continues to be celebrated for its contribution to French art and the Rococo movement.
