Saint Margaret is a 1485 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woman in a long red robe holding an open book. She has a blue sash over her shoulder and a golden halo around her head. Behind her is a cross, a green hill with a dragon, and a small building. The dragon is curled up under the hill, and the woman looks calm despite its presence. This style was common in religious art of the time. Next, check out how this was made with technique: woodcut.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
