Kalenderblad oktober met eenden 1915

Theo van Hoytema’s “Kalenderblad oktober met eenden” (Calendar leaf October with ducks) is a charming, illustrative calendar page for the month of October, part of a series likely designed for commercial use. The artwork, created in 1915, features stylized depictions of ducks in a watery landscape, with reeds and a tree. The composition is divided into three sections, with the calendar grid for October taking the center space. The artwork is typical of the illustrative style popular during the early 20th century and is a fine example of Dutch Art Nouveau.
