An Entrance to Cadzow Forest is a 1821 oil by Alexander Fraser, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a serene forest entrance. A large tree stands in the foreground, its branches stretching across the top of the canvas. The path behind it leads into the forest, lined with trees and bushes. In the distance, a house is visible on the left side of the path. The painting features a mix of earthy tones, with shades of green, brown, and tan dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and peacefulness. The Scottish National Gallery is home to works by artists who specialize in landscapes like this one.
Scottish painter Alexander Fraser put brush to canvas in the 1860s and 1870s, mostly in Aberdeen.
