This calendar sheet for September 1898, designed by Theo Nieuwenhuis in 1897, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style. It features a central floral motif, reminiscent of the movement's focus on natural forms, with stylized plants and geometric patterns. The calendar grid is incorporated seamlessly within the design, with the days of the week in Dutch, and stylized suns and stars marking the days. The work, now held by the Rijksmuseum, exhibits the distinctive flatness and linearity characteristic of Art Nouveau, contributing to its visually appealing, almost decorative quality.
