The actor began working on the piece in 2021 while he endured a brutal legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard, according to a report.
"It was created at a time that was, let's say, a bit dark, a bit confusing," Depp said in a video promoting the piece. "Essentially, I just wrote 'five' on there because I was just about to enter the fifth year of the madness."
"I think this is the most personal piece he’s ever done," Ian Weatherby-Blythe, managing director of Castle Fine Art, said.

Signed copies of "Five" went live for sale on July 20 for $1,950, with $200 from each sale being donated to Mental Health America.
