Ma Shouzhen (1548-1604) was a courtesan living in the entertainment quarters of Nanjing. At the age of fifteen, she was officially introduced to the Nanjing courtesan scene by the well known poet and calligrapher Peng Nian (1505-1566). Ma Shouzhen is recorded in the Chinese sources as one of the most famous cortesan-artists of the Ming times.
