''Le Verrou'' (The Lock) is a painting by the French Rococo artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard, believed to have been executed in the early 1770s. The work is renowned for its sensual subject matter, dramatic use of light, and its role in the transition from Rococo to Neoclassical art. The painting depicts an intimate moment between two lovers in a darkened room, where a man pushes a bolt into place, presumably to prevent interruption, while a woman, reclined on a bed, appears to offer a mixture of resistance and complicity.

Fragonard's ''Le Verrou'' is often interpreted as a representation of seduction and the complexities of romantic and sexual relationships during the 18th century. The painting's composition, with its dynamic interplay of light and shadow, as well as its rich color palette, exemplifies Fragonard's mastery of the Rococo style. However, the work's heightened emotional intensity and the psychological complexity of its figures also anticipate the emerging Neoclassical movement, which favored a more serious and moralizing approach to art.

Originally part of the collection of Louis XV's mistress, Madame du Barry, ''Le Verrou'' has had a varied provenance. It was not as widely known during Fragonard's lifetime as some of his other works, but it has since gained recognition for its artistry and its intriguing depiction of a private, erotic moment. The painting is currently held in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the history of French painting and its insight into the social mores of its time.
