A spokesperson for the Centre Pompidou-Metz confirmed that Courbet's work had been defaced, adding that five works in total in the show were covered with the words "Me Too".
In the video, two women are seen writing "Me Too" on a number of works in the Centre Pompidou-Metz show including the Courbet work and De Robertis's own photograph Mirror of Origin.
The Luxembourg-born artist Deborah De Robertis posted a video showing the protest, aiming to highlight the "misogynistic divide" in the art world and urging marginalized groups in the art industry to express themselves.
