Mike,
I believe that all four paintings have been cropped. The reason that I am convinced of that is that this type of paintings are meant to idealize the antique living, note the dress and hairstyle.
Everything would be carefully arranged and proportions would be harmonious all over the composition and not like the snapshot cropping presented here.
My favorite is the third.
