"Gnomes" (see details), 1850 Moritz von Schwind (1804-1871) Alte Pinakothek, Munchen, Germany

The altered body proportions and reduced body size underscore the idea of "Dwarf". An alternative term is "Gnome" related to "gnat" (like a small flying insect) and "gnosis" for those who know. Here, the depicted "Gnomes" apparently "Know" how to find gold. The features (pug nose, short proximal arms, facial proportions) suggest the diagnosis of "Achondroplasia" (note the well developed musculature, a feature not noted in other types of "Dwarfism").
