Banksy has put an image of a lighthouse and the words "I want to be what you saw in me" in an undisclosed location. The image on his Instagram has two older people walking their two dogs near the artwork, which is in black and white with the lighthouse tower shining outwards.

Another picture shows a blurred person riding a scooter and a graffiti tag close to the artwork. The Bristol graffiti artist has seen his works fetch millions at auction, and led to speculation over his identity. The latest work, revealed on Thursday, has a tag that seems to say Yaze, which is the mark used by Canadian graffiti artist Yaze, who also goes by the name Marco The Polo and cites Banksy as an inspiration.

The quote used by Banksy could also have been inspired from a song by Tennessee-based country band Lonestar, called Softly, which features the lyric: "I want to be what you see in me. I want to love you the way that you love me."

Online speculation has claimed that the new piece could be in French city Marseille, a location where French street artist Invader has brought his pixelated style.

Last year, London saw a swathe of animal-themed Banksy works including a rhino seemingly mounting a silver Nissan Micra, two elephant silhouettes with their trunks stretched out towards each other, and three monkeys that looked as though they were swinging on a bridge.

Since putting one of a gorilla lifting the shutter at London Zoo, Banksy has also posted another image, of a Madonna with baby Jesus and what looks like a bullet hole.

The lighthouse is his latest image.
