Theo van Hoytema's *Kalenderblad juli met apen* (1905) is a calendar for the month of July featuring a stylized depiction of two apes in a jungle setting. The artwork is framed by a decorative border featuring stylized plants and figures, creating a sense of rhythmic repetition. The calendar grid features days of the week and numbers, with small apes replacing some numbers. The illustration showcases van Hoytema's unique approach to art, reflecting his interest in nature and decorative motifs, a prominent characteristic of his artistic practice. This piece exemplifies the artistic trends of the early 20th century, particularly in its use of color and composition.
