[ DESCRIPTION ]

A child plays with a nurse superhero action figure, discarding Batman and Spider-Man in favour of a figure wearing a mask and a cape with a red cross.

[ CRITICAL ANALYSIS ]

Created during the COVID-19 pandemic and donated to Southampton General Hospital, the work commemorates NHS workers. It sold at auction for £16.7 million, with proceeds going to the NHS — Banksy's highest ever auction price at the time.
