This 1912 calendar sheet by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema depicts a mother goose with her goslings. The calendar for May features a floral border and is framed by a top image of the goose family in a natural setting. The work is an example of the Art Nouveau style popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which emphasized organic forms and flowing lines. The calendar sheet was created for the Dutch publishing company "De Zilverdistel," highlighting the popularity of calendar art in this era. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
