The artist himself has not yet confirmed his authorship of this work, reported the BBC.
The sculpture is located in Waterloo Place, near the statues of Edward VII, Florence Nightingale, and the Crimean War Monument.

There was already one Banksy sculpture in London. In 2004, the artist installed a kind of copy of Rodin’s “The Thinker” on Strathsbury Avenue called “The Drunkard” (the irony is better felt in the names of both sculptures in English – “The Thinker” vs “The Drinker”). However, soon after installation, the work was stolen.

Recall, new graffiti by Banksy on the wall of the Royal Courts of Justice washed away and opened against the artist criminal proceedings.
