Kalenderblad november met een schuitbekreiger 1903

This 1903 calendar page, "Kalenderblad november met een schuitbekreiger," by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema (1863-1917), features a unique and stylized depiction of a bird, possibly a shoebill, in the center, set against a backdrop of a dark, almost nocturnal-looking forest. The design is a combination of naturalism and stylization, emphasizing the decorative elements. The surrounding border incorporates a celestial motif with gold stars on a black background, creating a sense of cosmic wonder. The image is a fine example of late 19th-century printmaking and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
