This 1902 print by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema (1863-1917) depicts a calendar for the month of March. The artwork features a pair of storks in a nest on a brick rooftop, symbolizing the arrival of spring, along with a calendar grid that includes the days of the week and dates for the month. The overall aesthetic of the print is Art Nouveau with a decorative motif, a characteristic that is reflected in the stylized storks, frogs, and plant elements that frame the calendar. This design was part of a series of calendar prints and exemplifies the art movement of the time.
