TheBust of Cardinal Giovanni Dolfin or Delfin is a sculptural portrait by the Italian artistGian Lorenzo Bernini, which is part of a mausoleum for the Venetian Cardinal Giovanni Delfin, member of one of Venice's most ancient noble families. The tomb as a whole was a joint work commissioned of Bernini and his fatherPietro. While Gianlorenzo executed the portrait bust, Pietro carried out the surrounding figures, including two allegorical figures of Faith and Hope as well as theDelfin family coat of arms. The work was completed in late 1621, and sits in the church ofSan Michele in Isola.[1][2]
