This 18th-century etching by Jean-François Daumont depicts the Theater of Marcellus in Rome, a significant architectural landmark of the city. Daumont's detailed portrayal showcases the Roman theater's curved exterior and its adjacent street, where figures are subtly placed to provide scale. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable example of 18th-century architectural and cityscape rendering, offering insight into the artistic representation of historical structures during this era.
