× UKRAINIAN CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS |
(details from "Enano (dwarf) - personal name unknown.") Juan van der Hamen (1596-1631) Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain
An "enano" or a person with "nanism". For clinical comments see the full image.
NOTE the short thumb which implies that the "dermatoglyphics" (carvings of the skin), a term that denotes "finger prints" may also be altered. The altered thumb proportions are sufficient to conclude that the whole skeletal system proportions are altered. This demonstrates that this is a "dwarf" and not a midget (proportional body size) nor an instance of "nanism" (enano in Spanish means midget)."
