Artwork in Margate depicts housewife with swollen eye and missing tooth

A new artwork that appears to be on the theme of violence against women and girls has been confirmed as a genuine Banksy.

The mural, painted on a wall in Margate, Kent, depicts a caricature image of a 1950s housewife, wearing yellow washing-up gloves and a blue apron, pushing her husband into a freezer. The woman is shown to be smiling despite having a swollen eye and a missing tooth.
