Also known as Sweep It Under The Carpet, this piece was painted on the White Club Gallery in the UK.


It is one of the few works in which Banksy himself has expressed the background context of the image:

"In the bad old days, it was only popes and princes who had the money to pay for their portraits to be painted, this is a portrait of a maid called Leanne who cleaned my room in a Los Angeles motel. She was quite a feisty lady."
