Robert Sayer's "Gezicht op de kerk Sint-Sebastiaan buiten de Muren te Rome", possibly created around 1750, is a detailed print depicting the Church of Saint Sebastian outside the Walls of Rome. This hand-colored engraving from the Rijksmuseum, measuring 272 mm in height and 428 mm in width, showcases the church's architectural grandeur. The print, a testament to Sayer's 18th-century expertise in topographical art, captures the church's facade and its surrounding landscape, showcasing the church's location outside the city walls. The print's focus on detailed representation makes it an excellent historical and artistic record of the church in the 18th century.
