Top left is going to be first, bottom right is last. Since bottom left is pretty close in structure to bottom right, I'm going with top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right.

That fits the reading pattern of western cultures.

Left right top bottom, like how we read. You can see a pretty linear evolution in the style.

I think that's the intended way too, but it's not exactly a given as other languages have different reading patterns. Japan, for instance, reads right to left, and others read vertically.

Yea but this is in English made for an English community. It's pretty safe to assume.

But the paintings look more like A is correct.
