“Stag O’Lee” references the 1895 killing of Billy Lyons by “Stag” Lee Shelton—a story that evolved into a foundational American folk myth and eventually the widely recorded blues song “Stagger Lee.” Wolff’s moody etching and aquatint captures this legendary atmosphere through layered figures, deep color, and an undercurrent of suspense.
