The statue is in a seated position on the left hand side of the bench, when sitting down on it. It appears to be made of bronze. No artist or dedication year was found when I visited in June 2018.
The plaque says, "On September 23, 1857 a businessman named Jeremiah Lanphier ignited what became a spiritual revolution in New York City. It all began with a simple prayer meeting in the financial district. Within months similar gatherings were being held through New York and across the nation. Tens of thousands of lives were transformed.
Lanphier's story affirms that one person, in humble obedience to God, can make a profound difference."
