Kalenderblad oktober met bladeren en vogels 1903

This calendar page for October, with leaves and birds, was created by Theo van Hoytema, but the medium isn’t specified. It could be a print, given the flat, graphic quality. The overall effect is delicate and decorative, like something you'd find in a beautiful old book. Look at the upper part of the image. The tree branches are rendered with thin, precise lines, creating a sense of movement as the leaves fall. The birds, silhouetted against the pale background, add to this feeling of dynamic energy. It's like a snapshot of a fleeting moment in nature. The composition is carefully balanced, with the natural elements framing the more structured calendar grid below. The earthy tones, like muted golds and browns, give the piece a warm and nostalgic feel, reminding me a bit of Gustav Klimt's decorative style, but with a more naturalistic touch. It's a reminder that art is often about capturing the beauty of the everyday, finding inspiration in the world around us.
