Kalenderblad oktober met bonte kraai 1909

This is a calendar page for October by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema (1863-1917). It depicts a crow perched on a branch with a simplified calendar below, framed with floral motifs. The stylized and detailed drawing of the bird and the use of natural colors within the overall decorative style are representative of the Arts and Crafts movement popular at the time. The piece was created in 1909 and is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
