In Faet Fiada (The Appearance of a Wild Beast) (1951), Carrington reimagines a tale from Irish mythology, mining her own Celtic heritage. The painting depicts Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland, and his acolytes alongside a small, fairylike figure. Animals are scattered throughout the background, while the moon casts a glow from above. Rendered in a luminous emerald green, it shows off the jewel tones Carrington became known for.
