This hand-colored etching by Robert Sayer, titled "A View of Marcellus Theatre at Rome," depicts the Theatre of Marcellus, an ancient Roman amphitheater in Rome. The print, created around 1750, shows the theatre in a slightly dilapidated state, with the arches of the structure partially obscured by rubble. It also features a fountain in the foreground and various figures. The etching provides a glimpse into the architectural grandeur of ancient Rome and the artist's skillful rendering of the scene. Sayer, a renowned British printmaker, is known for his detailed and accurate representations of architectural landmarks.
