"Le repas des ouvriers" (The Workers' Meal) is a notable painting by the Chilean artist Pedro Lira (1845–1912). Created in 1884, this work is an exemplar of Lira's social realist style, which he adopted amidst the broader context of 19th-century European and Latin American art movements that sought to depict the lives of the working class with authenticity and empathy.

Pedro Lira, a prominent figure in the Chilean art scene, was not only a painter but also an art critic, writer, and one of the founders of the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts. His training in France exposed him to the works of the French Realists and the emerging Impressionists, influences that can be seen in his approach to subject matter and technique.

"Le repas des ouvriers" is significant for its portrayal of laborers in a moment of rest, sharing a meal. The painting's composition, use of light, and brushwork reflect Lira's academic training while also incorporating a sensitivity to the social conditions of his subjects. The scene eschews romanticization, instead offering a dignified and honest representation of the workers' communal experience.

The painting is an important part of Lira's oeuvre, as it highlights the artist's commitment to social issues and his skill in capturing the nuances of human interaction. It also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the working conditions and social dynamics of the period in Chile.

"Le repas des ouvriers" remains a valuable piece of Chilean cultural heritage and is often discussed in the context of Latin American art history. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its contribution to the social narrative of the era. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing for its continued appreciation and analysis by art historians and the general public.
