My guess is that your pic 4 (Cupid + 2 figures) may also be after Kauffman, but the one with 3 figures (center figure reclining) & sheep strikes me as a different artist--maybe because the figures wear 18th century dress, rather than classicizing costumes. I tried running both through Google lens & found other repros on china, but no mention of the original artist.
