This piece first appeared in Chalk Farm, London. The Independent of London made a claim that they had commissioned the work, something Banksy would later refute. Many were quick to claim that this piece was a statement against the government's reluctance to tackle issues such as Aids in Africa. Banksy describes the piece on his website, "In the bad old days, it was only popes and princes who had the money to pay for their portraits to be painted. This is a portrait of a maid called Leanne who cleaned my room in a Los Angeles motel. She was quite a feisty lady." The work later appeared in 2007 on a wall adjacent to the White Cube Gallery in London. The rendition was mysteriously painted over after standing for a month. That same year the piece was also repurposed in a collaboration with Damien Hirst. The Banksy-altered "Pharmaceutical" painting would go on to sell for $1,870,000. At the time of auction, this was the highest price Banksy had ever received for a piece.
