Landscape with numerous figures: storm at sea, with five figures on a cliff in the left foreground watching as, at right, sailors are throwing Jonah overboard; the large fish is approaching their ship, mouth wide open. The sailors are on board a large ship with sails. Lightning is coming down from the clouds. The composition is framed by elaborate floral curlicues with a pair of sea monsters at the top and two scenes of a bearded man (in one, looking at a city from above; in the other, preaching to a crowd and a kneeling man) to the left and right. Below is the title " JONAH. Jonah Ch. 1. v. 15". In small print below the frame is the following text "Painted by Nicholas & Gasper Poussin." "THE LONDON PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY." "Engraved by J. Rogers."
