This 1902 calendar page by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema features a detailed illustration of a peacock against a background of foliage. The decorative border includes stylized lizards and a calendar grid for the month of January. The work is an example of the Art Nouveau style, characterized by organic forms and flowing lines. The careful attention to detail and the vibrant colors give the piece a sense of tranquility and beauty. This piece is a testament to the versatility of Art Nouveau as a movement, finding its way even into everyday objects such as calendars. The calendar itself is printed with a specific date, 1903, indicating its intended use as a decorative and functional piece.
