Description   

In this painting, Chardin drew inspiration from the seventeenth-century Dutch genre tradition, for both format and the subject. Soap bubbles usually allude to the transience of life. Chardin painted two other versions of this picture (Los Angeles County Museum; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).
