Kalenderblad april met twee zwemmende eenden 1908

"Kalenderblad april met twee zwemmende eenden" (Calendar Page April with Two Swimming Ducks), created in 1908 by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, is a charming example of Art Nouveau design. The image depicts two ducks swimming in a tranquil pond, their forms rendered in a detailed and naturalistic style. The calendar grid, featuring a distinctive Art Nouveau typeface, is framed by a decorative border of stylized floral motifs, echoing the organic aesthetic of the period. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, embodies the spirit of the early 20th century, with its blend of naturalism and stylized ornamentation.
