Kalenderblad september met zilverreiger 1904

This 1904 calendar illustration, "Kalenderblad september met zilverreiger," by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, depicts a white heron perched on a rocky outcrop. The image is framed in a decorative border, with the calendar grid and the month of September taking up the lower half of the composition. The heron, with its wings spread, is rendered in a delicate, almost impressionistic style, showcasing van Hoytema's talent for capturing natural beauty in his artwork. The design of this calendar sheet, featuring both a visual image and a functional calendar, reflects the Art Nouveau style popular during the early 20th century. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
