Burbujas de jabón

ca. 1733–34
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 629
Los juegos infantiles son un tema favorito en la obra de Chardin, gran pintor naturalista. El formato y el tema de este lienzo, ejecutado hacia 1734, se inspiran en la pintura holandesa costumbrista del siglo XVII. Aunque no es seguro que Chardin quisiera pintar un cuadro con mensaje, las pompas de jabón simbolizaban en su época la fugacidad de la vida. The County Museum of Art en los Angeles y la National Gallery of Art en Washington poseen versiones posteriores de este tema.
