The framed drawing Transfert (Noli Me Tangere, Fragment 1) gives insight into the production process of Sala’s frescoes. Used akin to the cartoons employed by Renaissance artists to transfer the motif onto the intonaco, the sheet’s back surface is lightly covered with dried plaster, evidence of the process.
