Can anyone help with a translation of these 2 seals. The painting is otherwise unsigned.

Appears to be a wonderful 2 page folio painting of Xi Wangmu riding a phoenix along with 2 other princesses.

Among the clouds is the palsce of Mount Kunlun, surrounded by an orchard of the peach trees of longevity that only ripen once every 3,000 years. The fruit appears unripened, which would explain why they appear white in color.

Measures 27 3/4" wide x 16 1/2" tall.

The detail is amazing, but hard to see in the small photos below. Additional photos can be viewed and enlarged at the following link.
