The Barn

Adriaen van Ostade

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Barn by Adriaen van Ostade: Black and white etching of an interior scene. The scene depicts a dimly lit barn with a slanted roof, made of wooden beams. The roof's beams are exposed. A wooden post stands in the center, supporting the roof. The left wall has a small door. Bundles of wood lean against the left wall. A pile of wood and a barrel lie on the ground. To the right, there are more barrels and a wheelbarrow or cart with a wheel visible. The floor appears to be dirt. The background is shadowy. The artwork has a white border around it. The image is signed in the bottom-left corner.
