These are both reproductions. The picture of the four scholars is in the Palace Museum, Beijing. It is probably a Northern Song copy of a Five Dynasties painting. The inscription on the painting by the last Northern Song emperor attributes it to Five Dynasties painter Han Hun. More recently it is linked to a different Five Dynasties painter, Zhou Wenju. Your copy leaves out a lot of detail though; compare it to this enlargeable image of the painting:

The horse and rider is a reproduction of a wall painting that is within the tomb of the Tang dynasty prince Zhanghuai (aka Li Xian), one of several figures buried within the larger Qianling mausoleum complex at Xian.
