Two similar murals have appeared in London this week, one of which the mysterious street artist Banksy has claimed as his own.

The artwork depicts two children lying on their backs in coats, hats and boots. One child has their hands in their pockets. The other points a finger skywards.

Banksy posted two photos of the mural on the side of a building in Bayswater, west London. It looks just like another mural that recently appeared in front of the Centerpoint building in central London, though Banksy has not yet acknowledged its authorship.

The meaning of the image is up for debate. Art world publications like "Art News" are interpreting the image as a statement on the UK’s escalating child homelessness crisis. According to a report published earlier this year by the British government, more than 160,000 homeless children are currently living in temporary accommodation — the highest number on record.
