I disagree that Jonah would be depicted as a female. I see this [Post #6] as a representation of mythical Melusine of Luxembourg. That would be the "mermaid"-like version as opposed to the dragon-like version from Lusignan.
The closest historical illustration is the generic mermaid and four fish in Harley 334. The VMs artist borrows the same "Mermaid plus four companions" but changes the appearances. Mermaids don't have thighs.
Melusine of Luxembourg was considered to ancestral to the Valois lines of the 14th and 15th Century. There are various historical connections.
