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 depicts Léon Koelin-Leenhoff, the illegitimate son (possibly fathered by Manet) of Manet's future wife, Suzanne Leenhoff. The painting shows him aged 15 blowing soap bubbles, a traditional symbol of the brevity of life. It is now in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, whose founder acquired it via André Weil in New York in November 1943.
