Does Anyone Know What This Is?

I am a picker, and I travel to a lot of different antique stores, pawn shops, and flea markets. This piece struck my eye in a local pawn shop that I frequent, but I wasn't sure what it was. For whatever reason, the store had it priced at $400. I asked the clerk if it was something special and why it was priced at $400, but she wasn't able to tell me anything about it. I see a lot of art pieces on here so I was wondering if anyone here can shed some light as to what this piece is if anything. The signature says Lesli, but I couldn't find anything on that artist. This piece struck my eye because it is somewhat creepy with the crying young face surrounded by the all black background.  Let me know what you guys think this is.
