A charming lithograph by Theo van Hoytema, 'Aap op bal' depicts a monkey in formal attire balancing on a star-studded ball. This vintage print adds a touch of whimsical elegance to any room.

This charming lithograph by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema, titled 'Aap op bal' (Monkey on a Ball), captures a whimsical scene with a touch of melancholy. Hoytema, a key figure in the Dutch Art Nouveau movement, was known for his distinctive style, often featuring animals and natural motifs rendered with delicate detail and a subtle sense of humour. This particular work depicts a monkey dressed in a formal coat, standing atop a ball adorned with stars. The monkey's slightly downcast expression and the precariousness of its position create a poignant contrast with the playful subject matter. Executed between 1878 and 1910, this print showcases Hoytema's mastery of lithography, with fine lines and subtle tonal variations bringing the scene to life. As a fine art print, 'Aap op bal' adds a touch of vintage charm and intellectual curiosity to any space. Its muted colour palette and intriguing subject make it a versatile piece, suitable for a study, living room, or child's bedroom. The print's unique character is sure to spark conversation and bring a sense of playful sophistication to your home.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
