This answer is overkill. But with a nice set of images like you have in your question, maybe overkill is what is called for 🙂
The fundamental design is the same as Uluk’s, it just adjusts the Viewport of the ImageView rather than setting a clip, but the concept is the same.
Beware => Java 8

Simpler example
Here is the same concept as demonstrated in the above game, but just with a simpler system of an animated image which can be controlled via method calls rather than user mouse clicks on the image.
The animated image is similar to a Sprite. The code below is not meant to be a production quality Sprite system (probably a true Sprite system for a game would have more functions and features), it just demonstrates very simple display of an animated image based upon a Viewport.
