Detail of a mural featuring Lady Godiva, painted on the outside wall of a building in the Fargo Village market place off Far Gosford Street. The style is unmistakably that of the artist Stewart Francis Easton; it resembles that of his paintings of Fevral the Bear exhibited at the Herbert Museum & Art Gallery in 2018, see here http://www.stewarteaston.net/fevral-a-folklore and here https://blog.bham.ac.uk/map/2018/07/25/fevral-a-folklore-exhibition/ . The mural appears to have been painted before the opening of Fargo Village in October 2014; part of it can be seen in this report of the opening by the Coventry Society. https://www.coventrysociety.org.uk/news/article/fargo-village.html When this photo was taken in September 2019, the paintwork was beginning to deteriorate; the mural has since been painted over.
