Source for Gerrit Noordzij drawing?

Hello,
I've seen this image online several places (for example, here).
Does anyone know the original source?
I thought it must be "The Stroke"—but I don't see it in my (older) copy.
I have also looked at this older version ("The Stroke of the Pen") but I don't see it there either!
I also have "Letter Letter"—but I don't see it in there either?
I was hoping to credit the image properly in a slide lecture...

I thought these were from Gewone Letters, Gerrit's Early Models, but Twitter was good and proved me wrong!2

I also checked "Het primaat van de pen" and the drawings aren't there.

Yes—I just got that book as well, but I don't see it in there either! But it's quite a nice book!Arthur Reinders Folmer said:I thought these were from Gewone Letters, Gerrit's Early Models, but Twitter was good and proved me wrong!0 -
Erik van Blokland wonders whether these drawings are by Gerrit at all. Perhaps they might be by someone else, modelled on Gerrit's theories and terminology?2

I'd contact Jean François and ask him where he got it, or if perhaps he made the drawing. Just as a start....2
