"Kalenderblad mei met twee duiven" (Calendar Leaf May with Two Doves) is a 1905 calendar illustration by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema (1863-1917). The artwork depicts two white doves perched on a branch with a calendar grid for the month of May. The illustration is framed by an elaborate border filled with repeating floral motifs and geometric patterns. Van Hoytema's style, influenced by Art Nouveau, is characterized by its decorative use of line and organic forms, typical of his time period. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dutch art from the early 20th century.
