Graphical abstract in beamer EDITED

Question

I have the following beamer presentation:

\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\begin{document}
\section{First}
\begin{frame}[label=A]
\noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-a.jpg}
\end{frame}
\section{Second}
\begin{frame}[label=B]
\noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-b.jpg}
\end{frame}
\section{Third}
\begin{frame}[label=C]
\noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-c.jpg}
\end{frame}
\section{Fourth}
\begin{frame}[label=D]
\noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image} 
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Graphical abstract}
I would like here to have a reduced view of 
frames A, B, C and D on one frame.
\end{frame}
\end{document}

The last frame should be a kind of graphical abstract of the presentation, i.e., I would like it to contain a reduced view of frames A, B, C, and D on one frame.

How should I achieve that?

Following the comments by Sam Carter below, I have tried the following simple and rogue solution :

\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\begin{document}
\section{First}
\begin{frame}[label=A]
\noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-a.jpg}
\end{frame}
\section{Second}
\begin{frame}[label=B]
\noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-b.jpg}
\end{frame}
\section{Third}
\begin{frame}[label=C]
\noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-c.jpg}
\end{frame}
\section{Fourth}
\begin{frame}[label=D]
\noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Graphical abstract}
I would like here to have a reduced view of frames A, 
B, C and D one one frame.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\scalebox{0.2}{\againframe{A}}\scalebox{0.2}{\againframe{B}}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

that gives me almost what I want, except that beamer is adding a lot of junk between my scaled frames.

Any ideas along thses line or am I being too rogue with beamer.

off-topic: you don't need \usepackage{graphicx}, beamer loads it automatically — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 05 '22 at 12:07
... there are also pdfviewer like pdfpc which offer such overviews via a keyboard shortcut. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 05 '22 at 12:10
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Thanks for the comment on graphicx. I'll have a look at the question you pointed out. — Denis, Sep 05 '22 at 12:13
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz OK. I now have a better grip on the problem. Would have liked a simpler solution but do not know if this is possible. — Denis, Sep 05 '22 at 13:26
The simple solution is to use a pdf viewer who can do this :) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 05 '22 at 13:32
... and although it is an hour later now, \usepackage{graphicx} is still not necessary :) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 05 '22 at 13:51
@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz I said my solution was rogue. But bizarrely it almost works. — Denis, Sep 05 '22 at 13:56
"almost works" is a bit exaggerated. It does not throw an error because beamer restores the normal latex definition of \frame inside of beamer frames. This latex definition of frame has nothing to do with the beamer definition of frame and basically just dumps the content of the frame into your overview frame. In your case with the big image, the result will have some similarity, but it will explode spectacularly as soon as the frame contains anything more complex. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Sep 05 '22 at 14:06

This code places the previous four frames into minipages, each using \againframe. Its width is controlled by the width of the minipage. Notice that the assembly is outside of a frame.

\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\begin{document}
\section{First}
\begin{frame}[label=A]
    \noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-a.jpg}
\end{frame}

\section{Second}
\begin{frame}[label=B]
    \noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-b.jpg}
\end{frame}

\section{Third}
\begin{frame}[label=C]
    \noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image-c.jpg}
\end{frame}

\section{Fourth}
\begin{frame}[label=D]
    \noindent\includegraphics[width=\framewidth]{example-image}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
    \frametitle{Graphical abstract}

    I would like here to have a reduced view of frames A, 
    B, C and D one one frame.
\end{frame}

\begin{minipage}{0.2\framewidth}

\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{0.2\framewidth}

\end{document}
