Graffiti on a public toilet in Worcestershire has prompted speculation that the work is by the famous artist Banksy.
The picture, which appeared this week in Evesham, features a man wearing a hooded top, painting a sign that asks "what is art?"
Local author Lynn Davies told BBC News that the work's appearance is "the most exciting thing that's happened in town in quite a long time".
However, opinion in Evesham is split, with some believing that the image is not by Banksy but instead is the work of a local graffiti artist.
Anonymous artist Banksy has become famous in the last few years and his graffiti has attracted international acclaim. His works can be found in cities across the country, notably in London, Bristol and Brighton, and further afield, with recent work appearing on the West Bank Barrier.
Many Banksy works exhibit surreal humour. The artist caused a stir at London Zoo, when he climbed into the penguin enclosure and painted "we're bored of fish" in seven-foot-tall letters.
