A young boy with golden hair blowing bubbles. The bubbles symbolize the transience of life. The plant to the boy's right represents life and the broken pot on his left, death. The painting was later modified and used as a Pear's Soap advertisement and became widely known in that form. The model, the artist's grandson, eventually became an admiral, but was known all his life as "Bubbles". (1886)
