Vintage Film Noir-esque Etching, Man Smoking Native American basket with the only thing missing

with the only thing missing being a plate on the underside to hold them in--and so

with no writing on it

is signed within the plate with Jou’s monogram at lower left

there is something so right about this elusive portrait

complete with baby Jesus in his crib and the star of Bethlehem shooting in the top left corner

Vintage Film Noir-esque Etching, Man Smoking Native American basket with the only thing missingI've been watching Ripley, so beautifully shot in black in white (on the Amalfi Coast, Rome, Venice, etc) in a very film noir sort of way, which immediately came to mind when I came across this etching. Looks like a plotting protagonist smoking in the shadows of an Italian stairwell to me! 8 3 4 x 11 1 8, etching on heavy paper, and in excellent condition. Signed Trish Grady on reverse.
