Boy Blowing Bubbles

Boy Blowing Bubbles (also known as The Soap Bubbles; French: Les Bulles de savon) is an 1867 painting by Édouard Manet, who gave it its present title. It is part of a series of works showing the artist's illegitimate son Léon Koelin-Leenhoff, others of which are Boy Carrying a Sword and Luncheon in the Studio. It shows him aged 15 blowing soap bubbles, possibly symbolising the brevity of life[1] It is now in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, which acquired it via André Weil in New York November 1943.
