Painting depicting medical workers by Banksy was sold for a record price of $ 23 million. The painting has become the most expensive work of a street artist.

He painted it in 2020, during the lockdown, and dedicated it to the heroism of the doctors fighting the pandemic. The artist handed the painting over to Southampton Hospital with an attached letter. The proceeds from the sale will be spent on medical facilities.

"Here is another and probably the main way to help the doctors who are at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus, vaccination. Let's do it together. The more people are vaccinated, the sooner we will get out of this situation," the artist said.

The painting shows a little boy sitting on the floor and playing with a doll dressed as a nurse. Other superheroes - Batman and Spider-Man are in the trash.

The size of the painting is one meter, and it is done in black and white. The original was sold at auction, while a copy of the drawing remains at the hospital.
