Interrupted Supper: “Push hard” is a 1796 oil by Louis-Léopold Boilly, a Rococo painting work, held at Norton Simon Museum.
This painting shows a man and woman in a room with a table and chairs. The woman is wearing a white dress, and the man is in a red jacket. They are looking at each other, and the woman's dress is open, showing her chest. There is another couple in the background, and they seem to be hiding behind a door. The room is dark, with only a little light coming from the left side. The table has a white cloth on it, and there are some plates and a bottle. The man is holding the bottle and seems to be saying something to the woman. The painting is very detailed, with lots of colors and textures. It's like a snapshot of a moment in time.
