Gezicht op de rivier de Neva te Sint-Petersburg gezien vanaf de westzijde 1745 - 1794

"Gezicht op de rivier de Neva te Sint-Petersburg gezien vanaf de westzijde" (View of the Neva River at St. Petersburg seen from the west side), created by Robert Sayer (1725 - 1794) between 1745 and 1794, is an aquatint print of the Neva River in St. Petersburg. The print shows the river with ships and buildings on either side, with a clear view of the city's architecture. The print is a historical record of St. Petersburg during the 18th century and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. This artwork is a fine example of the aquatint technique, characterized by its delicate tonal values and ability to capture the atmospheric effects of light and shadow.
