Cartoon of the whale spitting Jonah up onto land as a stout woman in peasants' clothing looks on in the foreground. The whale is spouting and its mouth resembles the bill of a duck. Jonah is waving a banner which reads "Ik bied 500 001". Above the frame is the title and "1882. No. 13." Below the image are the artist attributions and the following text: "Ende de visch spouwede Jona uyt op het drooge. Doe maekte sich Jona op ende ging nae de groote standt, end seyde: Ick biede en groot bodt voor de badstoven van Nineve. [line of dots] End sy bekeerden haer van haren boosen weg en verblijdden haer met groote blijdschap. JONA II-V."
