This is a woodcut print of Saint Margaret dating to the 1480s by an anonymous artist. The print depicts Saint Margaret standing on a dragon, a popular image of the saint associated with her legend of defeating the devil. The print, created using a woodblock and ink, showcases a black and white aesthetic, characteristic of early woodcut prints. Due to the lack of detail and the faded nature of the artwork, it is difficult to identify the exact style of the piece or the artist, leaving it to be considered a piece of anonymous devotional art.
