William Theed The Younger, Sculpture of Humphrey Chetham (British, 1804-1891)

seated with a schoolboy at the base in the uniform of Chetham’s Hospital, after the large marble in the Manchester Cathedral, signed or inscribed “Opus Wm. Theed.1856.” also inscribed on side of base “Humfredo Chetham/Hospith Et Bibliotheca Fundatori/D.D. Gratus Alumnus./MDCCCLIII”, gilt bronze and sheet metal, 24 x 12-3/4 x 16 in. (60.96 x 28.58 x 40.64 cm.), abrasions to gilt surface

Provenance: Private Collection, Miami, Florida

Estimate: $1,000 - $2,000

The school, founded by Chetham, is now incorporated into a well-known music school. Appropriately enough, the boy holds the Bible open at Psalm 112, and is pointing at verse 9, which praises the good, charitable man who “hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor,” and whose “righteousness remaineth forever.” Beside the boy are his cap and another couple of books, also appropriate because Chetham’s Library, part of this enlightened merchant’s legacy, was “the greatest of all the early town libraries” (qtd. in Hartwell 68); it continues to function as a free reference library today (see “Chetham’s Library”). The whole monument is a brilliant example of Theed’s gift for “historical realism” (Greenwood).”
