Good overall condition, see photo. Born in 1900 in Rome, Sebasti moved to Alexandria in 1908, where he was first trained in the studio of the Italian painter Alberto Piattoli, alongside Prince Farouk, the future King of Egypt, and later by the Greek artist Litsas. At the age of 18, he continued his art studies in Italy with the renowned Felice Carena and exhibited his works in Rome from 1923 and again in 1931.

Following his father's death, he returned to Egypt in 1924, where he remained permanently until his death in 1961. He took part in numerous exhibitions and art events, including the Venice Art Biennale in 1952 and the São Paulo Biennale in 1957.
