199 201 198. Riccardo Tommasi Ferroni (Italian, 1934-2000), “Studio per Un Gioco Tornatto”, 1974, oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right, signed, dated and titled en verso, 27 1/2 in. x 39 1/2 in., framed. $2500/5000 Note: Ferroni was a leading post-modern Italian figure painter throughout the latter part of the twentieth-century. Ferroni’s paintings combine classical themes and subjects from the Renaissance in surreal discontinuous spaces that stylistically resemble the works of DeChirico, Dali and DuChamp. In contrast to their works, Ferroni’s paintings are politically charged. Ferroni’s surreal compositions were pivotal to the resurgence of figurative painting in the early 1980s. Abstract existential art, void of figural or classical narratives, dominated the Italian art scene following World War II. Ferroni’s works were inspirational to the following generation of artists looking to reintegrate the past within a modern dialogue. Ferroni’s paintings have been exhibited and collected throughout museums and institutions in Europe and in the U.S. cities New York, Newport and Los Angeles. He was elected a member of the prestigious Accademia Romana di San Luca in 1982, and is recognized in prominent art history textbooks on Italian art such as Antonio Del Guercio’s Storia dell’Arte Presente (1998).

La Gauloise photographed at Tresco Collection, c. 1900. Photo courtesy of Hunter Figurehead Archives.
Provenance: La Gauloise, 18661888; to Tresco Abbey, Valhalla Collection, Tresco, Isles of Scilly, after January 1888 to after 1935; to Richard Headley, c. 1950; to Nantucket Auctions, August 2008, lot 229; to current owner. Note: This beautiful hand-carved wood figurehead once graced La Gauloise, the merchant sailing ship launched from Bordeaux, France, in 1866. The 322-ton Gauloise was built in 1866 and given the name to represent its ancient Gallic heritage of shipbuilding and commerce on the sea. Carved wood figureheads have graced the bows of ships since ancient times, and this majestic survivor is a fantastic example of nautical carpentry. La Gauloise was en route to the Welsh port of Porthcawl when she went down on a foggy day in January 1888. Fortunately, all hands were saved and portions of the ship salvaged, including this impressive figurehead.

But Fleming and Parris document many close followers and imitators of the master, of which this may well be one of the more inspired works.

Through his illustrations, Norman Rockwell (American, 1894-1978) became as familiar to the American public as the iconic images that he created. Perhaps Rockwell’s most celebrated works were covers produced for The Saturday Evening Post. In his covers, Rockwell captured a wide range of topics relating to the social and cultural changes of the time. During the course of his tenure at the Post, Rockwell created over 300 covers, including “At the Vets”, the cover illustration for the March 29, 1952 edition, for which the present work is a study. This poignant image of a young boy sitting patiently as he waits to bring his injured dog to visit the veterinarian is signed and dedicated by the artist “to my friend Dr. Henry Cooper.” Dr. Henry Sage Fenimore Cooper (b. 1895 Albany, NY- d.1984 Cooperstown, NY) was a noted surgeon in New York City. Dr. Cooper graduated from Yale University; following his service in World War I, he attended Harvard Medical School. During his career, Dr. Cooper served as an associate attending surgeon at Presbyterian Hospital and an associate clinical professor at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, where he was known for his emphasis on humanism in training of physicians. In 1925, Dr. Cooper along with the support of Stephen C. Clark, Sr., the philanthropist and art collector, reopened the Basset Hospital in Cooperstown, NY, a community founded by his ancestors. The Basset Hospital became one of the country’s leading rural research and teaching hospitals. Upon his death, Dr. Cooper was trustee emeritus of the Hospital and had been its president for 50 years.

carving on the leaves”.iv Both chests have flat leaf and tulip carved decoration that was laid out with templates and the designs on each rail confined within incised borders, an unusual feature on Hadley chests that these two related chests share with another Hadley chest with the initials HA, possibly for Hannah Allis, Rebecca’s sister, who married John Broughton Jr. in 1691.v Though free-hand carving is liberally sprinkled throughout the panels, there is no free-hand carving across the joints on any of the three chests as there is on other Hadley-type chests. The rails and panels were designed, carved, and painted before the chest was assembled and the stippling in the carved areas unified the design as well as hid the tool marks.vi The ML chest has the typical construction that is found in most Hadley chests. The four stiles have five sides and the framing members are all chamfered. The upper back board is framed into place, and a lower backboard, typically covering the drawer cavity, is missing here, perhaps removed when the drawer was repaired. The bottom of the chest compartment is comprised of three pine boards, with grain running from front-to-back, while the drawer bottom is constructed with two boards joined by a lap joint with the grain running from side-to-side. The drawers are side-hung, with a single large dovetail joining the drawer sides to the drawer façade. The groove in the drawer sides and its relationship to the single large dovetail varies from chest to chest; in this particular example, the dovetail is just above the groove.
Note: In 1883, pioneer collector Henry Wood Erving purchased an early American joined and carved chest out of a house in Hadley, Massachusetts, and ever since, this group of related chests has been referred to as Hadley chests. To date, there are over 250 pieces of related The “ML” chest was most likely joined furniture that survive from this made as a engagement or wedding area of Western Massachusettspresent for Mary Lawrence and stretching from Enfield to Northfieldmight have carried her dowry to her along the Connecticut River. i In new life, just as chests have done 1935, the present chest was throughout ages and cultures.

The same pattern templates were used on both chests, which is invaluable assistance with this catalogue entry. most evident in the carving surrounding the central incised tulip motif on the drawer front and medial rails. Additionally, the bottom rail of both chests is narrower than on other Hadley chests and unusually carved with a pattern of reverse C-scrolls separated by gouge marks. There are subtle differences in the incised scrolling and the placement and number of gouge marks throughout both chests, particularly around the flat tulip heads. The ML chest does not have gouge marks decorating the tulip heads as the RA chest does. In 1975, Patricia Kane categorized the known 126 Hadley chests into six distinct groups by related style and carving. She assigned the RA chest to subcategory C, “Crescent-shaped gouge carvings on both tulips and leaves,” of minor group 5, called the Scribed Line Type, which included a total of six related chests. The ML chest, which had previously been in group 8, “Unidentified Hadley Chests,” should be moved to group 5 subcategory B “Crescent-shaped gouge

$1500/2500 Note: In 1803, John L. Boqueta de Woiseri, a portrait artist by trade, who developed his talents as an engineer and designer, produced a bird’s eye view of the city of New Orleans. The etching presented here is a companion to a map produced by Boqueta de Woiseri most likely under the guidance of Pierre Clement Laussat, the prefect of Louisiana, who resided at the Marigny plantation. Boqueta de Woiseri’s etching is unique as it was the only view at the time to depict the city’s most important buildings: the Cabildo, the Presbytere, and St. Louis Cathedral. In addition, the etching celebrates the purchase of New Orleans and the Louisiana territory by the United States. This monumental event is symbolically portrayed by the eagle clutching a sixteen star-spangled banner. John L. Boqueta de Woiseri’s rendering of the newly minted American city is also included in the collection of Monticello and has been exhibited at the Historic New Orleans Collection.

A Fine American Neo-Grec Gilt Bronze-Mounted, Ebonized, Gilt Decorated and Inlaid Rosewood Parlor Cabinet, c. 1870, Pottier & Stymus, New York, bronze mounts marked and numbered “4738”, reverse of cabinet numbered “4738”, stepped shaped top, conforming case fitted with two paneled doors centering bronze plaques, birdseye maple shelf interior, fluted and blocked uprights, plinth base, height 51 in., width 55 1/2 in., depth 22 3/4 in. $5000/7500 Note: The sophisticated design of this cabinet incorporates a theme of marital fidelity and domestic harmony. The two large plaques on the doors depict Penelope attending her weaving while awaiting the return of her husband and Ulysses seated with his devoted hound. The bronze plaques are likely from Pierre E. Guerin (1843-1911), who established his New York foundry in 1864 providing mounts for renowned cabinet makers such as Leon Marcotte and Pottier & Stymus. A cabinet with “Penelope” plaques marked “Gúerin” related to those here was offered by Neal Auction Company as lot 81, September 10, 2011. An important rosewood parlor cabinet with collared stiles and bust mounts marked “P&S” very similar to those placed on this cabinet was sold by Neal Auction Company as lot 742, May 1993. The use of a four and five-digit numbering system by Pottier & Stymus before 1888 is well-known and documented in Kristin Herrons’ article on Glenmont, the Thomas Edison Residence in West Orange, New Jersey. The digits on a Pottier & Stymus example could be impressed, stenciled, or inscribed in ink, as seen here. Herron notes that the numbers were probably assigned chronologically, low digits, an “3924” on an Egyptian Revival chair at the Metropolitan Museum of Art dates from 1870, an1882 wardrobe at Glenmont is marked with a higher number “66595”. The inked number on this cabinet, “4736,” indicates manufacture in the early 1870s. An 1888 fire in the manufactory destroyed the firms’ records, and probably terminated use of the numbers in subsequent work from Pottier & Stymus.

544. Raoul François Larche (French, 1860-1912), “Loie Fuller, the Dancer”, c. 1900, gilt bronze table lamp, inscribed “R. Larche” with foundry mark “Siot. Decauville. Paris” on base, numbered 705 on base, height 17 3/8 in. $15000/25000 Note: Raoul Larche’s bronze table lamps, modeled after Loie Fuller’s famous Serpentine Dance, are a stylistic masterpiece of Art Nouveau aesthetics. Fuller (1862-1928) was an American dancer, who first developed the Serpentine Dance for her performance in the play Quack, M.D. (1889). The popular reception Fuller received helped launch her career in Paris at the Folies-Bergère where she perfected the “dance of light” under stage lighting to better resemble the flowering shapes that Larche captures in the lamp offered here. The swirling movements and organic forms of the dancer’s billowing dress, designed to represent the provocative abandon of a woman under hypnosis, epitomize fin-de-siècle fascination with psychology and light. From 1900-1912, the Parisian foundry Siot-Decauville cast three identical models of the Loie Fuller lamp in three different sizes, with the gilt bronze finish being the most expensive. An identical lamp to the one offered here (bearing the same 705 stamp) sold at Christie’s, New York, December 7, 2001, lot 377. For more information, see our online catalogue entry.
$9000/12000 Note: Dawson Dawson-Watson (1864–1939) was a British born Impressionist painter who trained in Paris with Carolus Duran (1837-1917) among others. He was one of the first members of the famous Impressionist colony in Giverny, France and was a prominent teacher in Hartford, CT, St. Louis, MO, and San Antonio, TX. Dawson-Watson began spending time in San Antonio while he was still living in St. Louis. From 1914 to 1926 he spent part of each year in San Antonio. It is generally believed that it was the Edgar B. Davis Wildflower Competition that drew him to San Antonio permanently. In 1926, oilman Edgar B. Davis founded an art competition to draw attention to the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. A jury selected the paintings, dividing them into two categories: artists who were residents of Texas and those who came from outside of the state. The formal name of the contest, organized by the San Antonio Art League, was the Texas Wildflower Competitive Exhibition. In 1927, Dawson-Watson won the prize for artists who came from outside Texas and was awarded the $5,000 first prize for Glory of the Morning, at the time the largest cash prize in an American art competition. He went on to win first and fifth prizes in the 1929 competition. These awards not only gave Dawson-Watson great prestige in San Antonio, but national recognition and financial awards that made him financially comfortable for the first time in his life. In San Antonio, he became famous for his paintings of the many variety of cacti that grow in the Texas Hill Country. The work offered here is a lovely example of his impressionist views of flowering cacti. Painted in the year prior to his death, the canvas is a fine example of his fully developed mature style.

Walter Inglis Anderson (American/Mississippi, 19031965), “Frogs”, watercolor and pencil on paper, estate stamp lower right, “Luise Ross Gallery, New York” label en verso, 10 7/8 in. x 8 3/8 in., framed. $10000/15000 Provenance: Luise Ross Gallery, New York, early 1990s. Note: Among the varied flora and fauna that Walter Anderson painted in watercolor during his sojourns to Horn Island, his compositions of frogs are among the most successful. The two frogs depicted here are colorfully rendered with Anderson’s characteristic style: painted in the shades of blue, green, purple and yellow that Anderson generally used in his depictions of frogs. The work offered here is a fulsome composition, using the negative space to reinforce his bold design.

Hunt Slonem (American, b. 1951), “Golden Pheasant”, 1989, oil on canvas, signed, titled, and dated en verso, and “Allene Lapides Gallery, Santa Fe, NM” label en verso, 48 in. x 48 in., unframed. $7000/10000 Note: Hunt Slonem (b. 1951) is an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker best known for his Neo-Expressionist paintings of tropical birds. Since 1973, Slonem has lived and worked in New York City in his legendary loft with his pet birds. His personal aviary has between 30 to over 100 live birds of various species at any one time. His fascination with exotica was imprinted during his childhood in Hawaii and experience as a foreign exchange student in Managua, Nicaragua.
547
Born in Maine, Slonem received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Tulane University in New Orleans and studied painting at the renowned Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. Slonem’s works are included in many important museum collections such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and the Ogden Museum of Southern in Art in New Orleans, among others. Since 1977, Slonem has had over one hundred-fifty solo exhibitions at prestigious galleries. He regularly exhibits at both public and private venues and has received numerous honors and awards. The vibrant canvas presented here is a colorful study of a pheasant, which utilizes Slonem’s characteristic hatch marks, adding texture and dimension to the composition. A large composition created by energetic blocks of various colors, the hatch marks give the sense of a cage before the bird. For Slonem, cross-hatching has “a feeling of a tapestry, it’s like weaving. I’m making colors bleed into each other, I’m revealing the under-painting.” Reference: Andersen, Kurt, “Hunt Slonem’s Artist Aviary”, February 24, 2012, Studio360.org.

Brilliantly rendered, these paintings are studies in the pleinaire effects of winter light reflected off water. The work offered here, Noon, is painted with the richly saturated palette indicative of the full sun of midday. A beautiful example of American Impressionism, this composition demonstrates Griffith’s fondness for depicting the historic waterway that once traversed the city of New Orleans. 557.

Backus (American/Florida, 1906-1991), “Florida Estate”, oil on canvas, signed lower right, 25 in. x 30 in., framed. $15000/18000 Note: Considered the Dean of Florida painters, Albert E. “Beanie” Backus depicted various locales and vistas of the Florida landscape as well as still lifes of the indigenous fauna. A native of Fort Pierce, Backus was largely a self-taught artist, who studied briefly at the Parsons School of Design in New York. Backus had his first exhibition in 1931 and achieved national recognition in 1939 when his work was included as Florida’s entry in “Art Across the Nation,” a show sponsored by IBM and the Golden Gate Exposition committee. Maintaining a studio in Fort Pierce, Backus exhibited his work in Miami beginning in 1949, which greatly increased his reputation in the state. Backus painted the wide ranging Florida landscape from tropical views of the Everglades to the piney woods of the northern part of the state. The work offered here is a large composition that seemingly depicts an area in central Florida. A rutted road of red clay earth leads to a simple house shaded by a stand of trees. Backus was fascinated by sky and cloud formations, as shown in this painting with its vivid cerulean blue sky and light-filled clouds. Characterized by a sense of serenity, this work is an important example of one of Backus’ mature landscapes of the Florida backcountry. 559.

Enrique Alferez (Mexican/New Orleans, 19011999), “Female Figure”, bronze, medium brown and verdigris patina, on original mahogany base, height 11 in., overall height 16 in. $8000/12000 Provenance: By descent in a New Orleans family and displayed in a Prytania Street residence for many years, acquired
589
from the artist. 588
Note: A native of Mexico, Enrique Alferez’s life spanned almost the entire 20th century, much of it creating art. A prolific sculptor, Alferez came to New Orleans in 1929 and was so taken with the thriving artistic community in the French Quarter that he stayed. Alferez received a number of commissions, taught at the Arts & Crafts Club and directed the sculpture program for artists employed by the WPA. The latter was certainly Alferez’s most significant contribution to the city of New Orleans. He created statues, fountains and friezes which are located in parks, gardens, airports, public buildings and street scapes all over the city. Alferez’s work is characterized by a gracefulness, especially in his depictions of women for which he is best known. The work offered here is a c. 1950s bronze of a partial nude figure. The face is easily recognizable as the visage Alferez portrays in many of his female sculptures, with her delicate nose and slightly pursed lips. The texture of the sculpture reflects the modeling of clay and differs from the smooth surface that he uses in much of his work. A true afficianado in his renditions of the female form, this a lovely example of his work.

Note: The inscription on this watercolor “Ok Amer” is tied to the illustrious history of the St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans at the turn of the century. The proprietor of the hotel, Alfred S. Amer, was an avid patron of Griffith and Robert F. Grafton, who often 604 (verso) exhibited their scenes of New Orleans in the hotel’s parlors. In 1916, Amer commissioned the artists to paint two horseracing murals “The Start and “The Finish” for the hotel’s Men’s Café. These works, along with “Old Flower Market”, were reproduced eight years later in a booklet Amer published on the arts and scenery of the city titled Souvenir of New Orleans, The Paris of America. The book was so well received that it was expanded from its original seventeen-page format to a full fortytwo-page book in 1925 that was reprinted throughout the1930s. The inscription “Ok Amer” on the back of this watercolor not only attests to the close relationship Griffith had with Amer, but it also indicates that Amer approved of Griffith’s watercolor study for the painting. 606.

$4000/6000 Note: This seminal 19th century plan of New Orleans was first issued by Norman in 1845. In the present 1854 issue, Norman has made significant updates to the plan and has removed the credit to the original draughtman Henry Moellhausen. Moellhausen was an important early surveyor and architect, particularly active in the 1840s, and was an early advocate of an underground drainage system. This plan shows the city divided into four districts and nine wards, the former shown in pink lines and the latter in green. Norman’s most famous map, “Chart of the Lower Mississippi River”, designed by Marie-Adrien Persac, was published four years after this map.

1103
$4000/6000 Note: St. Martin de Porres (1579-1639) is the patron saint of mixed races and interracial peace. Born in Peru to a freed slave from Panama and a Spanish nobleman, de Porres became one of the first men of multiracial descent to be ordained as a Dominican brother. He is often depicted with a broom, because he worked his way up from a donado, “a volunteer who performed menial tasks in the friary”, like sweeping the floor, to one of the most respected members of the clergy. In 1962, de Porres was canonized for the devout life he 1104 lived, caring for indigent people and animals, regardless of race and species. De Porres is the most commonly portrayed saint in Hunt Slonem’s works. In 1983, he painted a series of paintings that depict the saint in a blue vestment with a broom, surrounded by exotic flora and fauna. Two of those paintings, which closely resemble the one offered here, are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY and Newark Museum, NJ. For more information on the symbolism of birds and animals in Slonem’s oeuvre, please see lot 548. References: Craughwell, Thomas J., “Patron Saints for Modern Challenges.” St. Anthony Messenger.

For many years she had a log cabin studio at Plum Point Retreat near Batesville in northern Mississippi. Her work is based upon her memories and a lifetime of images of a folk past, rendered with brilliant color and simplistic detail. Her sometimes humorous titles convey her imagination in painting these scenes from her past. Moseley exhibited extensively and won numerous awards during her lifetime. In her later years, she moved to Bay St. Louis where her studio currently exists as the Alice Moseley Museum. The works offered here are from a private collection and were acquired directly from the artist over many years. The collectors and “Miss Alice” were great friends and enjoyed a delightful correspondence.

CONDITIONS OF SALE Placing a bid at auction constitutes buyer’s acceptance of and agreement to these Conditions of Sale. 1. WAIVER OF WARRANTY: All lots are sold “AS IS”. No statement regarding condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Regarding works of art, Neal Auction Company does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship. No statement in the catalogue or elsewhere, orally or in writing, shall be construed as an express or implied warranty, representation or limitation of liability as to authorship. Any such warranty is WAIVED. Buyer agrees and acknowledges that: (a) buyer is not relying on Neal Auction Company’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any lot; (b) no oral or written statements in the catalogue of Neal Auction Company or elsewhere regarding condition, attribution, kind, quality, value or authorship are the cause of or reason behind buyer’s purchase of any lot; (c) buyer would have incurred the purchase of any lot regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (d) Neal Auction Company did not know and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why buyer decides to purchase any lot; (e) buyer’s purchase of any lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (f) Neal Auction Company did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a lot in the catalogue or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing WAIVER OF WARRANTY, agreements and acknowledgements, Neal Auction Company may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, consider any reasonable request for rescission of a sale on the basis of authenticity of authorship of a work of art under the following terms and conditions only, all of which must be met: A. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding lots identified by Neal Auction Company by the terms “attributed to,” “school of,” “manner of,” “after,” or “signature of.” B. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer notifies Neal Auction Company in writing within a reasonable time from the date of the auction, and returns the lot to Neal Auction Company in the same condition that the lot was in at the time of sale. C. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission regarding any lot unless the buyer presents to Neal Auction Company a written document signed by a recognized art expert acceptable to Neal Auction Company that the lot in question is a forgery. D. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission to any person (including but not limited to the original buyer’s heirs, legatees, assigns, transferees, or subsequent purchasers) other than the original buyer, and any rights of the original buyer are not transferrable or assignable. E. Neal Auction Company shall not grant rescission when: (i) there is a conflict of expert opinion as to the authorship; (ii) expert opinion supported authorship at the time of sale, although expert opinion may have changed after the date of sale; and (iii) scientific processes that were unavailable, expensive or impractical at the time of sale have revealed since the time of sale that the author or period Neal Auction Company believed to be accurate at the time of sale was inaccurate. F. In any dispute between Neal Auction Company and buyer regarding authorship of a work of art, it is stipulated that rescission of the sale and refund of the price paid shall be the buyer’s sole recourse or remedy, if any is available, and Neal Auction Company shall not be responsible or obligated for any damages (including compensatory, general, incidental, exemplary or special damages), non-pecuniary losses, costs, expenses, injury, mental anguish, lost profits, attorney’s fees, or any other monetary or injunctive relief. 2. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the successful bidder. At the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. The bidder thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility and will pay full purchase price for the said lot.
3. The auctioneer may decide that any original bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the same. 4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time before the sale of the item. 5. No merchandise will be released before the end of the auction. 6. If the buyer fails to comply with any of the conditions of sale, Neal Auction Company reserves the right to hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price; to cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payment made by the buyer; resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer or, take such other actions available by law as deemed necessary or appropriate. If Neal Auction Company resells the property, the original defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency in the purchase price and all costs and expenses, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder. ABSENTEE/TELEPHONE BIDS 1. All absentee bids and/or telephone bids must be in our gallery by 5 P.M. CST the Thursday prior to the auction. 2. All arrangements for bidding should be made as early as possible. Telephone bidding will be taken at the discretion of the Neal Auction Company. Each item must have a minimum low estimate of $500. 3. We assume no responsibility for failure to execute bids for any reason whatsoever. 4. We reserve the right to require that advance bids be accompanied by a 25% deposit. PAYMENT 1. The successful bidder agrees to pay a buyer’s premium in the amount of 22% of the hammer price on each lot up to and including $200,000, plus 10% of the hammer price greater than $200,000. For purchases made by cash, check or wire transfer, the buyer’s premium shall be discounted 2.5% of this 22%. 2.
