A woman falls from a building together with her shopping trolley, this is what Banksy depicts in this work which, fortunately, no one has yet managed to vandalize. It is no coincidence that she stands at a height of 7 meters, painted on a London building in the Mayfair district. If you don't suffer from vertigo you can admire it here

The work depicts a naked man hanging from a windowsill, above him there are two people, a man and a half-naked woman. The husband suspects the betrayal and looks out the window to look for the culprit, who is obviously the naked man below him.
