Observations

Across all four images, finely ruled ink lines build highly detailed mountainous landscapes populated by trees, cliffs, architecture, clouds, and small figures or creatures. The monochrome black-on-cream treatment, strong contour drawing, dense textural marks, and large areas of open paper create a classical scroll-like scenic style with dramatic vertical forms and generous negative space.

Earlier versions

Same code, different picture. Midjourney changed how it reads SREF codes after V6.1, so V8.2 turns this code into a new style. The old one still works: add  or .
