Nymph and red fauna (Faun bewitching sleeping nymph). From his Fauve period until the late 1940s, the loves between fauns (or satyrs) and nymphs seemed to fascinate Matisse. The faun's attributes, the horns, the goat and the tail, are neglected here, with the scene focusing on its relationship with music: the faun plays his aulos, a two-pipe flute. His body, like that of the desired woman, interacts by describing circular arcs.

Along with Pablo Picasso, he is remembered as one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 20th century and artist in Fauvism, a style with brightly contrasting colours.
