We've thoroughly enjoyed this contemporary rendition of Kublai Khan and his Empress on a hunting trip, expertly copied from the original painting by Chinese court artist Liu Guandao. We would love to know the name of the artist. They are paintings on silk. Thank you!

Sorry, I can't tell what the first character of the signature is or read the seal clearly. that in the upper center is a spurious Qianlong seal, so it may be that the others are not by the artist either but meant to be the seals of important collectors.

A relevant detail of the original painting (in the National Palace Museum, Taiwan) can be seen here:

Rat, I appreciate your input! Even knowing that much is a huge help for a novice like me. I am enjoying the research process and getting responses, no matter how minor, from knowledgeable people such as yourself is helping me not to hit so many dead ends. Again, I thank you!

It does not appear that Kublai Khan's Empress painting uploaded correctly, so I'm trying it again. Thank you!
