"Wijwaterbak met Jonas en de Walvis" (Holy Water Font with Jonah and the Whale) is an etching by French artist Jean Lepautre. Created between 1657 and 1661, this intricate design features a central oval frame depicting the biblical story of Jonah and the whale surrounded by ornate ornamentation. Two cherubs adorn the top, while a seashell-like structure forms the base. This Baroque-style work, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Lepautre's mastery of detail and his ability to seamlessly blend religious imagery with decorative motifs.
