This is a painting by Jean Simeon Chardin
from around 1733 - 1734
we see a young boy blowing soap bubbles while another young boy looks at this activity
Chardin often painted children playing idle games
here we see a girl with a racket and a shuttle cock
with much concentration this boy builds a house of cards
the concentration Chardin puts into his paintings reminds us of scenes painted by Vermeer
This theme of blowing bubbles was inspired by 17th century Dutch genre painting
Here we see a painting by Caspar Netscher in which a boy blows bubbles
