Theo van Hoytema's *Kalenderblad mei met twee pauwen* (1903) is a calendar page depicting two peacocks in a lush, verdant setting. The Art Nouveau style is evident in the decorative borders, with stylized peacock feathers and gold accents, and the graceful, sinuous lines of the birds. The calendar grid is clearly displayed, and the depiction of the peacocks evokes a sense of elegance and refinement. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into the artistic trends of early 20th-century Netherlands.
