This artwork is a calendar page for March created by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema in 1906. The illustration depicts a white swan with a black duck sitting on its back. The artwork is a woodcut with a stylized design and is framed with a decorative border. The calendar numbers and days of the week are displayed beneath the image with a small quatrain in Dutch that reads "The duck calls with his flat beak, Kwek-kwek-kwek, Kwek-kwek, And of the river sounds, Kwek-kwek-kwek-kwek-kwek." This piece, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Dutch graphic design from the early 20th century.
