Identification elements of iconographic and stylistic order: The Holy Prophet Jonah is depicted against the golden background of the icon up to his waist, oriented to the right.

His face is modeled in shades of browns, and his hair and beard, beginning to turn gray, are depicted in fine strands.
Technical identification elements: The wooden support of the icon ends on the upper side in the form of a brace, and on the verso it is reinforced with two lateral crosses.
Conclusions: From the iconographic, stylistic and technical point of view, the painting of the icon falls within the coordinates of Russian painting from the first half of the 17th century (A.D.).
