Signature,
李龍眠繪 - Picture of Li Longmian
Seal is too blurred to decipher.

李 - Li - Surname
龍眠 - Longmian (Sleeping dragon) - Pseudonym

Li Gonglin(Li Kung-lin) 李公麟 1040-1106 is the real name of the painter. Also known as Li Boshi
李伯時 - a famous painter of the Northern Song Dynasty. Li Gonglin is said to have been the pioneer of the line sketching technique, though he primarily applied in his paintings of figures and horses.
Many of his works have been handed down to later generations in form of copies.
Your pictures seems to be relatively new copies.

With regards,
I.Nagy
