Thought I'd found a pencil signed Chagall - it's not, but I can't make out signature (Madeline?)

I found this a few days ago at a thrift store; at first I thought it was a signed Chagall! But the signature obviously isn't his, but I can't make out what it says (Madeline?) - does anyone know who this artist is?
Any help would be appreciated!
PS - It's a 18.5" x 22.5" art work (paper size visible) in a 35" x 39" frame - wouldn't it be better in a smaller frame (especially for shipping!) ?

 

No, perfect as is in frame.

It's a BIG frame Debora; but I trust your instinct more than mine with art! lol

 

The question is: how big is the print?

If the print itself is smaller, you might try selling it by itself, or in a smaller frame... so long as you are not trimming the print.

 

The frame gives it import and adds perception of value. But you could always give buyer option of with/without.

Presentation can make all the difference, but so can shipping cost. It's a cheap frame - extruded metal with the print held by spring clips at the corners.

Is this a break in the glass?

 

True. It is an inexpensive frame. But matting nice and greatly enhances work. Anyway, just my thoughts. Differing opinions equally valid.

Hi Journey, the "title" looks like "Made in hell" to me, but it may be a print based on
Chagall's Madeline series of whimsical animals, like this one:

It's a inexpensive frame & that's the plastic cover that's cracked

 

Very good point. Not worth the cost of shipping.

The framing doesn't bode well for the value of the print.
