Where is “Magu Offering Longevity” now? The Cleveland Museum of Art, 240A Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy, Cleveland. Yes, on view now. Checked October 12, 2026.
Dressed in red, Magu (literally the “hemp maiden”), a Daoist goddess associated with immortality, holds a jade vessel with the elixir for longevity. On her right stands an attendant with a lotus flower, behind her a rock. The title script and painting are rendered in an archaic (ancient) style, emphasized by shoes with upturned tips and a jade pendant. Zhu Meicun had copied the painting from an original by Ren Xiong (任熊) (Chinese, 1823–1857) which Wu Hufan owned at the time.
