Someone else posted the same print and asked the same question last year. Seeing a second signature might give you some clues.

"Duifay", actually. But it looks like they couldn't read it either and just put in their best guess, LOL.

I just figured they were misspelling Dufy.

Hmm, yeah, but the signature does look more like Duifal or Duifay. The print doesn't really look much like a Jean Dufy or Raoul Dufy.

In this sort of case I wonder if it wasn't deliberately signed to almost look like "Dufy" so that the prints can be sold as Dufys to not-so-sharp-eyed tourists.

And here is the answer to your question, it's Maurice Jacque french

Thanks, that puts this matter to rest. Here are a couple of other prints by Maurice Jacque with the exact same signature.
