"Saint Margaret" is a drawing by Flemish Baroque artist Godfried Maes, who lived from 1649 to 1700. The drawing depicts Saint Margaret, a Christian martyr, standing triumphantly over a defeated dragon, a common symbol for evil. The work is a preparatory study for a larger painting, and it is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. This drawing is typical of Maes's style, characterized by its dynamic composition and expressive use of line.
