It might be Preview, it might be Photos, it might be Elements or it might be Lightroom. etc. All depends on Preferences. Most likely it will not be an app that will smoothly allow for right-arrow/left-arrow movement from image to image. A lot of open file, view, close file, and repeat Actually, when preview is the one used (default unless changed by the user), it is quite easy to view a complete folder of JPG images.
You use 'Finder' (the directory browser) to navigate to the folder, double-click to open it. Once in the folder use 'cmd+A' to select all files, the double-click on any of the selected ones to open all of them in preview. Preview has a sidebar with thumbnails, and you can use up/down arrow keys to go through the set. You can also switch to full-screen mode, and the arrow keys still work then (but the sidebar is gone :) To move to the next folder, close preview, and return to the 'finder' window.
