Beach Scene with Figure is a 1900 oil by Pedro Lira Rencoret, a Impressionism work, depicting Beach, held at Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts.
In this painting, a woman stands on a beach, cradling a baby in her arms. Beside her, a large dog with a black and white coat looks out at the sea. The woman's dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a long dress with a dark top and a lighter-colored skirt. The dog has a thick coat and a long tail. The scene is set against a backdrop of rocks and bushes on the beach, with the sea stretching out behind them. The sky above is a warm, golden color, suggesting a sunny day. This painting is held at the National Museum of Fine Arts Santiago.
Pedro Francisco Lira Rencoret (17 May 1845, Santiago – 20 April 1912, Santiago) was a Chilean painter and art critic, who organized exhibitions that led to the establishment of the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts.
