This calendar page for September, created by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema in 1907, features two birds, possibly herons, in the center, with a calendar grid below them. Van Hoytema, known for his art nouveau style, uses intricate details in the borders, incorporating motifs of birds and other natural elements. This piece, now located at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the essence of nature in his work. The image, printed in brown hues on a cream background, exemplifies the Art Nouveau movement's preference for organic forms and decorative elements. This calendar sheet, a prime example of applied art, was likely designed to adorn homes and remind people of the passing seasons.
