A mysterious work of street art in the style of Banksy has appeared on a brick wall in Nottingham.
The graffiti piece has been painted by a beauty salon in Ilkeston Road in Radford.
It depicts a girl hula-hooping and is located next to a real bicycle that has its back wheel missing.
However, the elusive artist has not authenticated the artwork on his Instagram and a spokeswoman told the BBC she did not have any information about it.
The Evening Standard has reached out to Banksy's representatives for comment.
It comes as the city has the highest coronavirus infection rates in the country.
Many have begun speculating that Nottingham's coronavirus outbreak could be the reason why the artist chose to paint the work there.
Others have wondered whether the bike was a nod to the city's famous Raleigh factory.
A shop owner told the BBC they saw the artwork being painted when a van "with blacked out windows" pulled up at about 5pm on Tuesday.
Alex Mitchell, 31, said: "I only saw the driver. I didn't know what was going on or whether I should call the police.
"He pretended like he had broken down but he was there for at least two hours."
Mr Mitchell said at one point this driver came in and bought two Ribenas.
The shop owner also told the broadcaster that a piece of cardboard was left "gaffataped to the wall" overnight.
When Mr Mitchell returned the next day, the same person was there again.
Mr Mitchell said he asked the man who the artist was and he just winked back.
He said: "I'm not going to say whether it is Banksy or not, it definitely looks like one but no-one saw who painted it."
