Well Hung Lover

Genre Scenes

Well Hung Lover, also known as Naked Man Hanging From Window or simply Naked Man, is a 2006 mural by the anonymous street artist Banksy, painted on the side of a sexual health clinic on Frogmore Street in Bristol, England. It depicts a naked man hanging from a window ledge while a suited man looks out beside a woman in her underwear. Despite its nudity, it became the first legal piece of street art in the United Kingdom after a Bristol City Council survey found public support for keeping it, resulting in retrospective permission and formal protection. The mural has since been vandalized twice, defaced by a paintball gun in 2009, after which the council carried out a partial restoration that left some paint splatters visible, and again with black spray paint in 2018.
