Artchallenge 19 entry: Can I have a private moment

This week's ArtChallenge, hosted by @aksinya, is to interpret a painting by Alisa Yufa.

Can I have a private moment?

A long soak in the bathtub is a luxury for many busy women after an exhausting day of running out and about. Working mothers in particular need a private moment of rest and relaxation each day before bedtime. However, this precious time of reflection is interrupted. Who is the male figure that barges in? What does he want? Will there be a happy ending?

The illustration uses monochromatic grays to present a gloomy or mundane life. The sparse bathroom suggests thaf this person is not well off. Overall I see this as a reflection of the unrelenting reality of many lives.
