Beach in Fortaleza is a 1910 oil by Aurélio de Figueiredo, a Impressionism work, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
The painting depicts a serene beach scene, with a row of palm trees lining the shore. In the foreground, two women are walking along the beach, dressed in long skirts and blouses. The woman on the left is carrying a basket, while the woman on the right is holding a hat. The background features a calm sea, with a few small buildings visible in the distance. The painting is rendered in warm, muted colors, with the palm trees and beach taking center stage. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and relaxation.
