The first image is of writing at the top left of a Chinese painting. There is an old man with long white hair and fingernails sitting on a branch projecting out onto some water under a tall cliff. There are two large peaches and a small gord. He is holding a scroll. A crane is flying in the sky.
The second image is of the seals and writing under the first image.

Tang Yin a.k.a Tang Bohu (1470-1524) Ming painter and poet, one of the Four great southern talents of Ming. On his paintings he often wrote Jinchang - which was his hometown in Shanxi.
I think the above paintings are recent reproductions.
