About the piece

Alexander Fraser’s mid-19th-century work captures a moment of industrious activity within the wild beauty of Scotland. In this painting, soldiers in vibrant red tunics provide a sharp contrast to the textured grays and ochres of felled logs and the hazy smoke drifting through the forest clearing, showcasing the artist's skill in blending narrative detail with evocative landscape atmosphere.
