About the piece
Created by Jean-Honoré Fragonard in 1777, 'The Lock' is one of the most famous works of the Rococo era. The painting is celebrated for its theatrical use of chiaroscuro, contrasting the deep crimson of the voluminous bed drapes against a brilliant shaft of light that illuminates the figures at the height of their dramatic encounter.
