"De dwerg Winvelius van Kroeg verlaats dalen," a 1718–1720 etching by Dutch artist Anna Folkema, depicts a dwarf named Winvelius descending a hill. The etching is a portrait of a real person, and was likely commissioned by Winvelius or a close associate. Folkema is known for her skilled engravings and detailed representations of human figures, as seen in this etching. The work is a fascinating historical document that provides insight into the lives of people with dwarfism in the 18th century.
