Original Prophet Royal Robertson Double-Sided Drawing, c. 1997
marker and mixed media on paper
22 × 28 in.

An original double-sided drawing by the celebrated self-taught artist Prophet Royal Robertson, created circa 1997. Executed in marker and mixed media on paper, the composition centers on a visionary futuristic temple or cityscape enclosed within a bold badge-like form, surrounded by handwritten biblical passages and deeply personal inscriptions characteristic of Robertson's singular visual language.

The drawing references several passages from scripture. The biblical references—including Leviticus 20, Ezekiel 16, and Proverbs 2, 7, and 14—are central to Robertson's visual language. Together, these passages address adultery, temptation, moral judgment, and divine justice, reflecting the artist's deeply personal interpretation of his wife's perceived infidelity through the lens of scripture. By weaving these verses into his visionary compositions, Robertson transforms autobiography into prophecy, fusing religious conviction with futuristic imagery in a way that is uniquely his own.

Highly sought after by collectors of self-taught, outsider, and visionary art, this double-sided work exemplifies Robertson's unmistakable fusion of spiritual conviction, science fiction-inspired architecture, and autobiographical mythology.
