I don’t know their full titles/artist names but I’ll guess.
1) I have no clue, I think it’s the one with the figure in the boat one what appears to be a river.
2) Princess Pauline (that’s the most I can remember)
3) Huntsman with Dogs (chaperoned a field trip of 2nd graders-one of their favorites.)
4) Homer The St. Johns River (I just looked at this one because I wrote a paper on Ninah.)
