1 and 3 don't have foreground, it lacks a real focus as everything has the same scale.
2 and 4 work way better, but 4 is more interesting as the two rich guys are having a good time.
Masters in the foreground, enjoying life/wealth and taking a major part of the composition while a slave is working in the background, taking a minor part of the composition, almost invisible, blended in his surrounding.
It creates a contrast in the composition and in their social status, it's clever.
