Jonah is a 1898 oil by George Frederic Watts, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Gallery.
The painting depicts a man standing in front of a wall adorned with intricate carvings. He wears a green tunic, cinched at the waist with a dark belt, and has his arms outstretched upwards. His dark hair is tousled, and he appears to be shouting or singing. In the background, the wall features a series of carved scenes, although they are not clearly defined. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of energy and movement, with the central figure drawing the viewer's attention. This painting is a great example of the work of George Frederic Watts.
George Frederic Watts (23 February 1817 – 1 July 1904) was a British painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement.
