Soap Bubbles refers to a series of early 18th-century paintings by French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin.
Chardin's original work is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[1] and two later versions of the painting are in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum and the National Gallery of Art.
Chardin exhibited his work at the 1739 Paris Salon, though which version of Soap Bubbles he presented is not known.
[1] Some sources speculate that Chardin chose soap bubbles as a subject due to their historical appearance in 17th-century Dutch paintings where they served as allusions to the transience of life.
