About the Item

Standing well over four feet tall, “Rosetta Stone I” by Douglas is a commanding fusion of abstraction, symbolism, and tactile luxuries. This one-of-a-kind, limited edition print transcends simple imagery to become an emblem—a palimpsest of visual storytelling crafted in layered pigments, delicate texts, and luminous metallic leaf. Encased within a chromatic brown dentil frame and shielded beneath plexiglass, the artwork is elegantly presented. A simple white matte offers conceptual breathing room for its complex imagery, while the subtle presence of the artist’s signature—both in delicate pencil and printed form. These thoughtful details underscore the print as both intimate and monumental. The piece carries a presence that is both gallery-worthy and scenically versatile—able to anchor a contemplative study wall, palace a cosmopolitan living room, or arrest attention within a chic foyer. Douglas’s practice often blurs the boundary between drawing, printmaking, and visual metaphor—inviting viewers to ponder meaning in symbols and surfaces. “Rosetta Stone I” stands as a rare fusion of that mindful artistry, rich in allegory and painted with the opulence of metallic leaf.
