The artist shows the saint Margaret of Antioch as a shepherdess, holding a crook (referring to the legend that she grazed her nurse's sheep). Behind her is the dragon from whose stomach she burst. The eyes and facial features of the model are identified by some art historians with the model for the same artist's Saint Agatha.[1]
