In And so was his grandfather, how is the Preparatory drawings discussed?
Goya produced three preparatory drawings for And so was his grandfather, two in pencil and Indian ink and the other in gouache. The ink drawing is titled The Literary Ass. Neither of the drawings contain any discernible image on the book itself, suggesting the satire on genealogical pretension as opposed to pretension in general was unique to the print.
