BUBBLES

This morning Wilson explained why he chose a picture of a polar bear on an ice floe for Pterry to colour in yesterday: it was so all his 'best crayons' wouldn't get used up!

Following another rummage in the dressing-up box, Wilson is proud to present: Bubbles (AKA A Child's World) the classic 1886 painting by Sir John Everett Millais.

Millais was a serious painter of great repute, but Bubbles is best known for having been used to advertise soap.

The child in the original painting is William Milbourne James, who grew up to become an Admiral in the Royal Navy – but was known as Bubbles for the rest of his life!

I fear if lockdown lasts much longer you'll have a lot more of these Classics Revisited to look forward to…
