A Banksy-inspired graffiti piece depicting a little girl in a yellow 'gilets jaune' vest has been discovered in France, in an apparent nod to the famed artist's Girl with Balloon
Demonstrators, who have taken to wearing high-vis jackets, giving the protest its name, have turned increasingly violent in recent weeks, with one protester having their hand mangled while apparently clutching a firework
The little girl depicted in the artwork also appears to have had her hand blown off, and is left with a bloody stump, like the injured protester from recent riots

The artist has yet to claim the piece and it is believed so far to be a pastiche of the original
Ten days ago paramedics were seen huddled around the injured protester, 30, near the gates of the National Assembly as they provided emergency treatment
Some of the paramedics served as a barrier to stop media and demonstrators from getting too close
Police confirmed that a protester had a hand injury while photographs from the demonstration showed the bloodied hand in desperate need of treatment

The imagery was first spotted on the wall of a shop in 2002, in Great Eastern Street, east London
It features just two simple shapes, with the statement: 'There is always hope'. The girl depicts a Syrian refugee, an imagery which Banksy uses many times in his murals
The iconic mural was last year voted the nation's favourite artwork.The image was chosen above the likes of Constable's Hay Wain and Jack Vettriano's Singing Butler
Featuring on the shop wall for more than 12 years. it was also set to be removed and sold in 2014
Events company Sincura Group, which controversially removed another Banksy mural in Tottenham, said would exhibited the work before selling it for about £500,000
A man who works in the printing shop said in he had not seen the Banksy mural for years because it was been covered with boards
In March 2015, the third anniversary of the Syria conflict, Banksy reworked the painting to depict a Syrian refugee and added #WithSyria
The image was later projected on the Eiffel Tower and Nelson's column in Paris.Justin Bieber famously got the image tattooed on his arm, which was blasted by Banksy himself
A Facebook page which is thought to represent the mysterious Banksy posted a photo of the ink with the caption: 'controversial
'A version of the artwork painted onto the cardboard backing of an Ikea frame sold for £73,250 in 2012
