Just a few days after a new motif by mysterious British street artist Banksy appeared, it was defaced with white paint.
The green work was sprayed on a white wall behind a bare tree, making it look like there were leaves on the tree from the right angle.
At the bottom left of the wall you see a person holding a sprayer and looking at the work in typical style. The vibrant greenery is similar to that of the road signs in the Islington area.
As shown in new photos on Wednesday, two stripes of white paint have been painted over part of the artwork.
The motive was only discovered a few days ago. On Monday, Banksy, whose identity is unknown, confirmed his authorship with photos on his Instagram account.
It is not the first time that a Banksy work of art has been tampered with shortly after publication. Shortly before Christmas, two men in London stole a stop sign on which the artist had painted three drones.
In the southeastern English coastal town of Margate, a house wall on which Banksy had spray-painted a motif was dismantled and later displayed in an exhibition in London.
