Well it does look like endings, but also some beginnings in these cards.
The Ten of Cups has two people in the background holding hands and looking out of the window at the ?moon? while in the foreground there's a young woman holding a baby very tenderly. Is she his mother, sister or nanny? She's sitting in front of a table holding the ten cups, the inscriptions you can see are all pentagrams. The room they are all in looks very grand.
The Ten of Pentacles has a man opeing a treasure chest and looking somewhat shocked - what is in or not in it? There's some scales, a scroll, a key and a smaller ornate chest there too. The woman holding the boy is looking at him but doesn't seem unduly alarmed. The building around them has a vaulted ceiling, like a church roof.
The Ten of Wands shows a man who has just pulled open a barrier (the wands) and is looking inside. The ground under his feet has skulls poking out. He has a cross round his neck. It's hard to see what's happening behind him, a fire? a ruined building? What's that plant to the left?
The man in the Ten of Swords is face up unlike the usual RWS image. One of the swords looks as if it has fallen from his hands. They look like those rapier type swords used for fencing, thinner than e.g. the ones in the 9 or the 8. There's a woman rushing towards him screaming with her hand outstretched as if to stop him dying. I'd say she was too late.
