The composition is divided into two distinct sections. The upper portion features a naturalistic depiction of two ducks swimming in water, rendered with a muted palette and fine, textured lines that capture the movement of the water and the plumage of the birds. The lower portion contains the calendar grid for April, framed by a decorative border that echoes the organic, flowing lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Hoytema was a master of lithography, often using the medium to create works that combined scientific observation with decorative design. His approach to animal subjects was informed by his interest in biology, yet he maintained a stylistic sensibility that aligned with the aesthetic movements of the early twentieth century. The use of soft, earthy tones and the integration of typography with graphic illustration demonstrate his skill in balancing functional design with artistic expression. The border, featuring subtle floral motifs, provides a cohesive structure that links the natural scene above with the structured calendar below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the broader interest in the decorative arts during this era, where everyday objects such as calendars were treated as opportunities for artistic production. The print demonstrates a high level of technical proficiency in lithographic printing, with the subtle layering of colours creating depth within the water. It is a representative example of Van Hoytema's output, which frequently featured birds and other animals in various settings, often produced for calendars or as standalone prints for collectors of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/tentation-eugene-grasset\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTentation by Eugène Grasset\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/the-golden-legend-legende-doree-armand-point\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Golden Legend (Légende Dorée) by Armand Point\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/theo-van-hoytema\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTheo van Hoytema artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Theo van Hoytema","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59460280385871,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59460306174287,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59460306207055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59460306239823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59460306272591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59460306305359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59460306338127,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59460306370895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59460306403663,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59460306436431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59460306469199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59460306501967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Kalenderblad-april-met-twee-zwemmende-eenden_Poster_CompositorV1_1792400543965.jpg?v=1794351096","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/products\/kalenderblad-april-met-twee-zwemmende-eenden-theo-van-hoytema","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
