Russian watercolor painting name hard for me

I was hoping to see if anybody here knows who this artist might be, does not look amatureish at all, done very well.

Thanks

There are a couple of native Russian speakers (and some others who know some Russian) who drop by sometimes and might know the answers for sure but...

The first line on the back is the artist's name, which is also signed on the front. Unfortunately I can't decipher the middle part. Looks like last name Pre(_?)kino, but I can't make out the fourth letter. And I'm not sure whether the third letter on the front sig is an "e" or not.

The second line on the back is the title, which also is on the front. I can't read what is on the front. It may be the name of the place, but the letters on the back don't translate into anything for me. I may just not be seeing it.

The last line on the back translates to "watercolor 1856" if I'm reading the numbers correctly.

 

Figtree3, you are a great help. Someone a long time ago told me it said 1986, I think they are wrong. I hope the Russians see this and reply with some good news so I can buy a new car.

 

I think the last name is female, Pryadkina (Прядкина). Can't make out the first one.

 

I think the scene is Kizhi Pogost:

I did find one auction record for a watercolor by an L. Pryatchkina, but no idea if it's of any relevance:

Ah sweet, let me check this name out as an artist, Thank You kardinalisimo.

 

Cool, Thank You

 

You nailed it moreotherstuff, thanks tons.....

 

Still can't find artist after all the replies.

 

used car......maybe...

 

I think the word on the middle line on the back could be Кижи (Kizhi). I think the person who wrote on the back may have just tried to copy what is on the front, and it's possible that it was written after (long after?) when the painting was created.

And it does look like the same church and other buildings. Good find, moreotherstuff!

 

Thanks Figtree3, I would have never thought of that, a person copying what it said on front, very cool, gracias.....
