These images do suggest, that a small crew could sail such a ship.
This suggestion is also based on recent experiences of such rigging.
The double masted Block Island boat (USA) called "Roaring Bessie" should have an incredible talent for stable cruising, with the rudder fixed only 3 degrees of variation in course showed up.
In the USA, modern built double masted sailing yachts are not uncommon. (see at the end of this blog)
Interestingly, a lot of small fishing and working boats of the recent past also showed such rigging (see below under: "why do I call this secrets")
