Vintage Film Noir-esque Etching, Man Smoking Native American basket with no writing on it

with no writing on it

which is still holding it tight

there is something so right about this elusive portrait

The backsides show stains to the paper in the corners but no tears and the fronts are in excellent condition

And then this wonderfully sculptural dress and fine wisps of hair framing her covered face

Vintage Film Noir-esque Etching, Man Smoking Native American basket with no writing on itI'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.
