Street artist Banksy has claimed a new piece which seems to have a theme of domestic abuse and fighting violence against women.
The wall painting appears to show a 1950s housewife, wearing a classic blue pinafore and yellow gloves, with a swollen eye and a missing tooth.
She is seemingly shoving her male partner into a chest freezer.
In a series of photographs posted on their Instagram account, the elusive artist captioned the piece “Valentine’s day mascara” and zoomed in twice to show a close-up of the woman’s smiling but seemingly battered face.

It also features a variety of rubbish on the ground in front of the artwork, including a broken white garden chair, a blue crate and an empty beer bottle.
Speculation about the post has suggested the Bristol-born artist is referencing fighting violence against women on Valentine’s Day.
In December, the anonymous graffiti artist announced they had created 50 screenprints which would be sold to raise funds for a charity supporting the people of Ukraine.
Banksy previously confirmed they had spent time in Ukraine after posting a video of an artist spray-painting designs in the war-torn country and speaking to locals.
