About the pictures of the Enterprises in TMP (in the rec room)....

I'm wondering, is that picture on the far right a picture of the NCC-1701 Enterprise before the refit?

Sorry, I can't find a pic of it online, but I think you know which part I am referring to.

Yes, it is.

It's a dedicated piece of art on this very subject.

But no, these aren't "pictures of all the Enterprises". They all are pictures of Enterprises. Even back in the late 1970s, it was obvious that several (if not most) notable ships named Enterprise were omitted from the "list" of five, and the dialogue reflects this.

Thanks!

And I edited the title.

Sorry to nitpick - I just sorta wanted to preempt the classic debate on why Archer's Enterprise isn't seen there.

Let's rant a bit anyway... From the looks of it, the five vehicles seen are a nondescript sailing frigate (possibly the fictional USN one referred to in ENT "United", and possibly the same as in Archer's ready room); the first, WWII-era USN carrier CV-6; the space shuttle flight test article OV-101 (which may actually have been a spaceworthy vehicle in the Trek reality); the ringship with the registry XCV-330 (also seen as wall art in ENT); and the TOS hero ship. Major omissions in both real world and fictional terms include the second carrier CVN-65, most of the sailing ships, and various current and projected spacecraft named Enterprise (although they are named so in honor of the TV show, and the TV show doesn't exist in the Star Trek universe!). But since those five vehicles seen are in what look like monitors, it seems likely that they are just graphics that can be changed at the push of a button, and that the monitors can be set to show all the dozens of Enterprises, or keyed to the porn channel if need be.

For all we know those images could be standby-screens/screensavers and the little nook their in some sort of public information kiosk

Right on.
They don't appear to be fixed mounted images or artwork, but apparently projections on screens.

Therefore, they could be some sort of screensavers for other displays. Or maybe the screens do rotate through all different Enterprises, we only saw those at the moment.

Well if we're going to nitpick: Only two masts, so not a frigate, but probably meant to be the 1799 US Enterprise after conversion to a brig.
