"Convent of St. Saba, April 4th 1839, plate 51 from Volume II of The Holy Land" is a notable lithograph by the eminent Scottish painter David Roberts, with the engraving executed by the Belgian lithographer Louis Haghe. This artwork was published in 1843 as part of Roberts's influential series "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which documented his extensive travels and artistic interpretations of the Middle East. The series was a groundbreaking work for its time, offering Western audiences some of the first detailed visual representations of the region's landscapes and historical sites.

The lithograph depicts the Convent of St. Saba, also known as Mar Saba, a Greek Orthodox monastery overlooking the Kidron Valley in the West Bank. Established in the 5th century, the monastery is one of the oldest inhabited monasteries in the world and holds significant religious and historical importance. Roberts's visit to the Holy Land in 1839 allowed him to capture the grandeur and isolation of the desert monastery, which he rendered with a keen eye for architectural detail and the dramatic play of light and shadow.

David Roberts's artistic journey was a significant undertaking, and his collaboration with Louis Haghe brought his observations to a wide audience, influencing both the artistic and scholarly perceptions of the Middle East. "Convent of St. Saba, April 4th 1839" stands as a testament to Roberts's skill as a draughtsman and his contribution to the visual documentation of historical and religious sites during the 19th century.
