A summary, all versions were tested with dosview 1.4 once again:

Real machine (laptop):
works fine

DOSBOX-X:
I had to upgrade memory first. In dosbox-x.conf "memsize=64" made pictures with a size of 1 MB work. Alternative: Window: Main - Configuration tool - main - memsize - Save.
With 32 MB RAM I got the following error message when trying to open
pictures with a size of more than 1 MB, smaller pictures worked.
Shutting down Allegro
Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
Page fault at eip=000f61eb
etc. etc.

DOSBox Staging:
path to dosbox-staging.conf is C:\users\username\AppData\Local\DOSBox\dosbox-staging.conf . "memsize=64"
Works as DOSBOX-X

VMWarePlayer 17.5:
FDT2311 installed, I used all 4 boot options (except no driver)
128 MB RAM
Only a black window appears - even if I try to open a 3k jpg file.
I had to kill the machine.

Virtualbox:
FDT2311 installed, I used all 3 boot options (except no driver)
128 MB RAM
dosview opens the pictures (from 3k till 1 MB pictures) - but when pressing
ESC there appears a big black window and I had to kill the machine.

QEmu:

FDT2311 installed, I used all 4 boot options (except no driver):
128 MB RAM
dosview small.jpg does not execute the command at all. It freezes.
After a reboot even dosview -h froze.
