One of Banksy’s most beloved works is being sold at auction with the Bristol building it was created on.

The work, known as Well Hung Lover, shows an image of a man hanging from a window ledge as a cheated rival searches for him and a woman stands by.

It appeared in 2006 on the wall of a sexual health clinic, though the street artist is said not to have realised what the building was.

The estate agent Hollis Morgan is selling the building – and so the Banksy – with a new 250-year lease at an auction next year.

The most banksy thing to do would be to paint over it.

Somewhat reminiscent of a Russian photo meme, where a lover hangs from a balcony and the husband looking out with a gun.
