"Kerstkaart met drie flamingo's" (Christmas Card with Three Flamingos) is a charming Christmas card created by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema (1863-1917). This delicate and small artwork, measuring just 115 mm high and 80 mm wide, features three stylized flamingos standing in a shallow water setting. The artist's use of muted colors and delicate lines creates a sense of tranquility, making this card an intimate and heartfelt expression of holiday wishes. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, the card stands as a testament to the beauty and significance of everyday art.
