<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gckimm, post: 10279247, member: 83519&quot;]I am not sure of the identity of the woman above.&nbsp; My first guess would Magu, an immortal associated with longevity and healing.&nbsp; The boy with her is just a servant, and it looks to me like he is carrying a vase with a deer antler in it.&nbsp; Deer antlers are used in traditional Chinese medicine.&nbsp; In keeping with the theme of the painting, it would be a birthday gift.&nbsp; The figure could also be Lan Caihe, one of the Eight Immortals, who is usually portrayed holding a basket of flowers.&nbsp; Lan Caihe is often shown with a deer, a symbol of longevity.&nbsp; In this case, the deer could be represented just by an antler.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
