why clear it and leave a silhouette?? why just don't leave an entire square silhouette to no one ever knows what was there.
because the picture was taken only partway through the removal.
I can't say they didn't/won't try to remove/cover it further, but on another article it's at least dry (and seemingly not obstructed) pointing to the removal as calculated by Banksy as others have suggested.
Perhaps being a historic site, paint is not really an option instead needing a more costly restoration to obscure it.
