''The Soap Bubble'' (French: ''La Bulle de savon'') is a genre painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, created around 1733–1734. This work is one of Chardin's most celebrated pieces and exemplifies his mastery in capturing the ephemeral moments of everyday life with a quiet, contemplative beauty. The painting is a fine example of the Rococo style, which was prevalent in the 18th century, characterized by its soft colors, gentle lighting, and intimate subject matter.

The painting depicts a young boy in a moment of leisure, blowing a soap bubble with a straw onto a stone ledge. The scene is set within a dimly lit interior, and the boy is accompanied by a jug, a bowl, and a piece of soap, the tools of his transient creation. The bubble's delicate iridescence and the boy's focused expression are rendered with Chardin's meticulous attention to detail and subtle gradations of light and color.

Chardin's work is often noted for its poetic interpretation of ordinary scenes and ''The Soap Bubble'' is no exception. The painting has been interpreted as a meditation on the fragility of life and the fleeting nature of human endeavors, symbolized by the transient bubble that is destined to burst. The boy's engagement with such a simple and ephemeral activity invites viewers to reflect on the beauty and transience of life's quiet moments.

''The Soap Bubble'' is housed in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, having been bequeathed to the museum by Jules S. Bache in 1949. The painting continues to be a subject of admiration for its technical brilliance and its philosophical depth, and it remains an important work within Chardin's oeuvre and the broader context of 18th-century French painting.
