''Le Verrou'' (The Lock) is an oil painting by the French Rococo artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard, believed to have been painted in the late 1770s. The artwork is renowned for its sensual and erotic undertones, which are characteristic of Fragonard's most provocative works. The painting depicts an intimate moment between two lovers in a darkened room, where a man forcefully pushes a bolt into place, symbolically sealing the couple's privacy and suggesting the imminent consummation of their affair.

The composition of ''Le Verrou'' is notable for its dynamic interplay of light and shadow, which serves to heighten the drama and tension within the scene. Fragonard's masterful use of chiaroscuro imbues the painting with a sense of immediacy and psychological depth, as the lovers' faces are illuminated amidst the surrounding darkness. The woman's reclined posture and the man's assertive action create a powerful contrast and contribute to the narrative of seduction and desire.

Originally part of a series of paintings intended for Madame du Barry, the mistress of King Louis XV, ''Le Verrou'' reflects the libertine spirit of the French aristocracy before the Revolution. The painting's history includes a period of obscurity before it was rediscovered and celebrated for its artistic and cultural significance in the 19th century. Today, ''Le Verrou'' is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris and remains an important example of Fragonard's contribution to 18th-century French painting, as well as a subject of ongoing scholarly interest for its thematic complexity and representation of the Rococo aesthetic.
