Welsh Hovel at Machynllaeth is an etching on chine applique created by George Cuitt the Younger in 1814.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a dilapidated cottage, partially concealed by foliage, with a woman and child in the foreground. The cottage's uneven roof and leaning walls convey a sense of neglect and decay.
