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.
