New Banksy 'earring' mural appears on wall in Bristol
- Published

A new mural by street artist Banksy has been painted on a wall in his home city of Bristol.
The image is a version of a famous painting by Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer called Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Girl with a Pierced Eardrum uses an alarm box as the earring instead of a pearl shown in the original painting.
The mural has already been vandalised with someone throwing black paint over it.

This is a copy of the painting the mural is based on.
No one knows the true identity of the secretive artist.
He posted a photo of this latest piece of work on his website to show it was him who did it.
