"A Barn Interior with Cattle, Pigeons and a Dog Barking at a Peasant" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Cornelis Saftleven. Known for his genre scenes and animal paintings, Saftleven's work often reflects the rustic life of the Dutch countryside, and this painting is a quintessential example of his interest in depicting the lively interaction between humans and animals within rural settings.

The painting portrays a bustling barn scene where the central focus is on the animals, a common theme in Saftleven's oeuvre. The composition features cattle and pigeons, which were typical subjects in Dutch barn genre paintings, symbolizing agricultural wealth and prosperity. Dominating the scene is a dog, captured in the midst of barking at a peasant, adding a dynamic and somewhat humorous element to the piece. This interaction between the dog and the peasant may reflect the everyday occurrences in rural life or possibly carry a deeper allegorical meaning, as was common in Dutch Golden Age paintings.

Cornelis Saftleven (1607–1681) was an influential figure in the Rotterdam art scene, and his work is characterized by a keen observation of detail and a talent for rendering textures and the effects of light. "A Barn Interior with Cattle, Pigeons and a Dog Barking at a Peasant" exemplifies Saftleven's skill in creating lively and engaging scenes that are both realistic and infused with a sense of narrative.

The painting is an important contribution to the genre of barn interiors, which were popular in the Dutch Golden Age, offering insight into the rural life of the period and the human-animal relationships that were an integral part of it. Saftleven's work remains significant for its artistic merit and as a historical document of the era's culture and economy.
