画面に描かれたシャボン玉、髑髏、砂時計、羽飾り付きの帽子、瓢箪などから、本作品はいわゆる「ヴァニタス」画、すなわち、静物の描写を通して人生の虚しさや儚さ、あるいは移ろいやすさを表現するものであることが知られる。ただし、通常の「ヴァニタス」画とはやや異なって、シャボン玉を吹く少年は翼を具えた天使として描かれており、ここには何らかの宗教的意味合いも重ねられているように思われる。ダウの画歴の比較的初期、1635/36年頃制作されたものと考えられるが、様式的には既に彼の室内画の特徴がはっきりと現われている。迫真の材質感をもって暗い室内に浮かび上がる静物の描写は、彼ならではのものである。 (出典: 国立西洋美術館名作選. 東京, 国立西洋美術館, 2006. cat. no. 33)

The soap-bubbles, skull, hourglass, feathered cap and gourd and other still-life elements shown in this work indicate that its subject is vanitas, the emptiness and ephemeral quality of man's existence. This work differs slightly from standard vanitas images as the boy blowing soap-bubbles has been fitted with the wings of angel. This motif indicates the layering of a religious theme over the standard vanitas imagery. Thought to have been painted relatively early in Dou's painting career, during the years 1635-36, the work clearly exhibits the compositional forms of his earlier interior scenes. The realistic depiction of still-life elements floating against the dark reaches of an interior setting is typical of Dou's work.
