Any help with signature on this water color is appreciated and any idea who the lady could be. It is signed something 40 and then on the back is two more images and signatures. Looks like this was out of some art studio...... I think this could be a good one. Maybe the signatures on the back can help trace to the front signature

The first signature looks like Padua to me. The second maybe T. or F. Lundz?
There is a site that tries to help match signatures, you can try different combinations of letters there then compare the art:

Good luck! The first one is really very appealing. :)
