Description
Jonah is spat upon land by the whale and is on his way to preach to the city of Nineve. The buildings look of course very Swedish and the "kurbits" flower or "gourd" is mentioned in the book of Jonah. It fascinated the Swedish peasant painters and the gourd are in almost every painting. It became larger and filled up more and more of any empty area of the paintings which were painted mainly, directly on walls.
