The painting was originally attributed to Ma Hezhi (馬和之; fl. 1131-1189) of the Song dynasty. However, the National Palace Museum states that the painting style indicates that this work may actually be from a later date in the Ming or early Qing dynasties, but it does contain seals—possibly spurious—from the Yuan and Ming dynasties. |

Author |
Yan Zhenqing (顏真卿; 709-785) of the Tang dynasty composed the Record of the Altar for the Immortal Hemp Maiden (麻姑仙壇記), which quotes from the Biographies of Deities and Immortals (神仙傳) by Ge Hong (葛洪; 284-363) of the Jin dynasty and then records an altar dedicated to Magu at Nancheng County (南城縣) in Fuzhou where Magu achieved the dao. Yan Zhenqing's text was inscribed onto the painting by Emperor Gaozong (清高宗; 1711-1799) of the Qing dynasty. |

Description |
Magu, the Hemp Maiden, is depicted here as a young lady of about 18 or 19 years of age, including slender fingers with long nails like bird claws and her hair tied up with some strands falling down. She is seen carrying gourds and a basket with spirit fungus and flowers, associating her with fortune, longevity, and auspiciousness. This painting reflects her description in the Biographies of Deities and Immortals by Ge Hong (284-363) of the Jin dynasty. |
