"Which artist painted ""Bubbles"", which was used in the advertising for Pears soap?"
"Bubbles (painting) Bubbles, originally titled A Child's World, is a painting by Sir John Everett Millais that became famous when it was used over many generations in advertisements for Pears soap. During Millais's lifetime it led to widespread debate about the relationship between art and advertising. The painting was one of many child pictures for which Millais had become well known in his later years. It was modelled by his five-year-old grandson William Milbourne James and was based on 17th-century Dutch precursors in the tradition of vanitas imagery, which commented upon the transience of life. These sometimes depicted young boys"

Since A & F Pears was acquired by Lever Brothers, the painting has been in their ownership. It was lent to the Royal Academy,"

Millais also achieved great popularity with his paintings of children, notably ""Bubbles"" (1886) – famous, or perhaps notorious, for being used in the advertising of ""Pears soap"" – and ""Cherry Ripe"". His last project (1896) was to be a painting entitled ""The Last Trek."" Based on his illustration for his son's book, it depicted a white hunter lying dead in the African veldt, his body contemplated by two Africans. His many landscape paintings of this period usually depict difficult or dangerous terrain. The first of these, ""Chill October"" (1870)"
