Following the attack on Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, a popular Instagram account attributed to street artist Banksy shared this quiet yet poignant image:
The caption simply reads: RIP. This account is not related to the BanksyNY Instagram account previously associated with the artist. The account, which boasts nearly one million followers, has also not been authenticated. Nonetheless, the image has been steadily making the rounds today.
Update: Animal NY claims the Banksy Facebook account that shared the image is "fake." As of publishing this update, the image has been shared nearly 80,000 times on Instagram alone.
