Martin Engelbrecht's 18th-century etching, "De dwerg Veith Schöberl von Gümpendriel," depicts a dwarf named Veith Schöberl from Gümpendriel. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Engelbrecht's mastery of caricature, portraying the dwarf with exaggerated features, a wide-brimmed hat, and a humorous expression. The engraving captures a moment in Veith's life, showcasing his small stature, but also his personality and spirit, offering a glimpse into societal perceptions of dwarfism in the early 18th century.
