Welsh Primitive

Welsh Primitive is a naïve art artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Library of Wales.

This pair of 1840s oil sketches shows a little-known Welsh artist’s quiet scenes. A Bridge over the Rhydol captures a modest stone span crossing a narrow river, while A Factory nigh Aberystwith records a cluster of brick sheds at the edge of town. Both pictures belong to the era when Wales began shifting from rural lanes to industrial strips. Want a closer look at the river crossing? Tap A Bridge over the Rhydol.
