[split] Ms. germ. fol. 642
#45
There is a Jonah image that is similar, from approx. the latter 14th century, but they chose to put Jonah reaching for vines (rather than being on grass) to illustrate the land-connection.

It's exactly the same fish-head in terms of style (bump nose, eyes, full coverage of scales.). One thing I noticed when collecting zodiac drawings is that copyists often mirrored figures even when they kept all the features the same. This one isn't an exact copy but the face of the fish definitely puts it in a certain tradition.

   

BNF fr. 400 It says it's from England, but I have noticed from articles written about them that a number of the English manuscripts from this time period, that are housed in the French national library, were created by scribes and illustrators with Anglo-Norman backgrounds.
