Context from the museum
A miniature inspired by the “Peach Blossom Spring,” this painting illustrates the well-known tale written by the poet-recluse Tao Yuanming (365–427 CE), in which a fisherman accidentally discovers a hidden utopian village where residents live in harmony, untouched by the outside world's troubles. While the painting lacks a signature, scholars concur on its attribution to Shi Rui, evident from the dynamic landscape and the effortlessly rendered figures that showcase the artist's skill.

Read the dimensions before the image
The selected image measurement for The Haven of the Peach-Blossom Spring is 22.2 cm wide and 24.7 cm high, equivalent to approximately 8.7 × 9.7 inches. Dividing width by height gives a format ratio of 0.90:1. The rectangular bounding area is 0.05 square meters; it describes the measured footprint, not the amount of paint or the monetary value.
On an illustrative 300 cm wall, the recorded width occupies 7.4% of the span before adding a frame. A centered placement leaves approximately 138.9 cm on each side before adding a frame. These are calculations by Physical Art For Crypto using museum measurements. They are not the museum’s display recommendations.
