	'''Satyresses''' are the female equivalent to [[satyr]]s, depicted with a human head and torso, generally including bare breasts, but the body of a goat from waist down. They were a late invention by poets and artists and are comparatively rare in classical art. Such a creature may also be known as a '''fauness''', but this nomenclature is rarely seen in English; ''faunesse'' is the spelling in French.

	Though not often seen compared to the omnipresent depictions of male satyrs and centaurs, the satyress figure was certainly not unknown to ~~classical~~ artists. ~~Michaelangelo~~ included a haggard satyress nursing drunken toddlers at her elderly breasts in his 1533 work, ''The Children's Bacchanal''.<REF NAME="ROYAL">[http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/microsites/theartofitaly/object.asp?exhibs=CITAFLORO&item=9&object=912777&row=26 ~~Michaelangelo~~ Buonarotti: ''The Children's Bacchanal''], published online by Royal Collection: Royal Palaces, Residences, and Art Collection.

	The satyress is common in modern fantasy art. They may be portrayed as normal human women with the hind legs of a goat and a tail. In modern fantasy art, they commonly are shown with pointed ears and horns as well. Aubrey Beardsley has drawn the satyress figure in this style.		The satyress is common in modern fantasy art.
