Kalenderblad augustus met witte duif 1915

This 1915 calendar sheet by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema (1863-1917) depicts a white dove surrounded by foliage in the top section of the artwork. The bottom section of the sheet is a calendar for August, surrounded by intricate designs of birds and foliage. The dove, which may symbolize peace, is a recurring motif in van Hoytema's work. This calendar sheet, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a charming example of the Art Nouveau style, known for its decorative motifs and organic forms.
