This pen and ink drawing, "Gerard Nolst Trenité op de motorfiets," by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon, is a satirical caricature of the journalist and author Gerard Nolst Trenité (1870-1946). Created sometime between 1909 and 1925, the artwork depicts Trenité riding a motorcycle, exaggerated for comedic effect, with the words "Esprit" and "Spot" on the vehicle. The drawing was likely published in *De Amsterdammer*, a Dutch weekly newspaper. The humorous depiction of Trenité highlights Kroon’s skill in capturing the essence of a person through caricature.
