Item Details
Description
'Stagga-Lee' 1976. Watercolor on paper. Signed upper left corner. Verso: Artist, title, medium, size, and year. Note: Lee Shelton (1865-1912), popularly known as "Stagolee", "Stagger Lee", "Stack-O-Lee", and other variations, was an American criminal who became a figure of folklore after murdering Billy Lyons on December 25, 1895. The murder, reportedly motivated partially by the theft of Shelton's Stetson hat, made Shelton an icon of toughness and style in the minds of early folk and blues musicians, and inspired the popular folk song "Stagger Lee". The story endures in the many versions of the song that have circulated since the late 19th century. Property of a Westchester County, NY collection. Dimensions: Sight size: 13.50" h x 16.25" w. Frame: 20.25" h x 24.25" w.
