"Enano" (Midget or Dwarf), (see detail) by Juan van der Hamen (1596-1631) -
Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain.
Note: An "enano"
of a person with "nanism". The bowed legs and the disproportion between the size
of the head, body and limbs. Thus, this work depicts, in a medical sense, a
short bowed limb type of dwarfism without distortion of cranio-facial
proportions.
