A Barn is a 1620 ink by Claes Jansz Visscher, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a rustic barn nestled among trees, with a large tree growing on its roof. The barn's thatched roof and wooden structure are rendered in intricate detail, while the surrounding landscape features rolling hills and a few figures in the distance. A small figure is seen in the foreground, adding a sense of scale to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of serenity, with the barn and trees blending harmoniously into the landscape.
