Printed on image: "An imaginary and fantastic character introduced in various novels and sketches by E.T.A. Hoffman, impersonating a true musician devoted to the highest ideals in conflict with the banale and frivolous world and ending in insanity. This sketch is by Hoffman himself, showing Kreisler amusing himself blowing soap-bubbles, seeming to say : 'What is the world after all, but a soap-bubble?'" Johannes Kreisler is the name of a character in three novels by E.T.A. Hoffmann.
