A photograph of a pen and ink drawing depicting a dolphin now in Nationalmuseum, Stockholm (inv. no. NMH 301/1863), where it is catalogued as a copy after Giulio Romano or Raphael. Annotated on the verso.
On the online catalogue of the Nationalmuseum of Sweden (see Bibliographic References), it is noted that the figure is probably a design for a silver ornament. A large number of drawings by Giulio Romano of this kind, often cut out, are in various collections (such as the British Museum, the Ashmolean Museum, and the Strahov Library in Prague).
