Street artist Banksy painted his version of "The Girl with the Pearl Earring", a famous painting from the 1600s by Johannes Vermeer. Instead of a pearl earring, the girl's earring is an alarm. The artwork appeared last October near Bristol docks, and I happened to see it as I was walking in the area.
There were reports that the artwork was defaced shortly after it was painted, but it appears that it's now been fixed. It can be seen in Bristol Harbour area near the attraction Brunel's 'SS Great Britain'.
