The work was produced as a calendar page for the month of May. Van Hoytema demonstrates his technical skill through the use of lithography, a medium he favoured for its ability to capture subtle tonal shifts and textures in feathers and reeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is divided into two distinct sections. The upper portion features the duck, rendered with a focus on naturalistic detail and muted, earthy tones. The animal is positioned in a quiet, sheltered space, suggesting the stillness of spring. Below this image, the calendar grid for May is presented within a decorative border. This border, printed in a warm orange hue, features floral motifs that reflect the aesthetic sensibilities of the Art Nouveau period. The typography is clear and functional, integrated into the overall design of the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Hoytema often turned to the natural world for his subjects, frequently depicting birds and animals with a degree of empathy and precision. His work bridges the gap between scientific observation and decorative art. By incorporating a functional calendar into the design, he creates an object that serves both an aesthetic and a practical purpose. The print reflects the broader interest in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in bringing art into everyday life through high-quality graphic design and illustration. The muted palette and the careful balance between the representational image and the geometric grid demonstrate the artist's control over the lithographic process. This piece remains a representative example of his contribution to Dutch graphic arts.\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\/geknakte-stengel-van-een-plant-theo-nieuwenhuis\" 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;\"\u003eGeknakte stengel van een plant by Theo Nieuwenhuis\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/vignet-met-drie-bloemen-gerrit-willem-dijsselhof\" 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;\"\u003eVignet met drie bloemen by Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof\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 prints →\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":59501582614863,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59501586514255,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59501586547023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59501586579791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59501586612559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59501586645327,"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":59501586678095,"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":59501586710863,"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":59501586743631,"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":59501586776399,"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":59501586809167,"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":59501586841935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Kalenderblad-mei-met-broedende-eend_Poster_CompositorV1_1794615124093.jpg?v=1794615168","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/products\/kalenderblad-mei-met-broedende-eend-theo-van-hoytema","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
