Gustav Courbet's 19th century erotic oil painting, "The Origin Of The World" features a female genital of an (until recently) faceless nude, that is considered a master piece.
At the time of the painting, it was considered too risqué to exhibit and could even have seen the artist sent to prison on charges of "affronting pubic and religious morals". The painting now hangs in a Paris museum.
Months ago, artist Deborah de Robertis decided to incorporate the art work into her own performance piece. She then sat in front of the priceless painting and expose her own genitals.
Roberties strolled into the gallery barefoot and dressed elegantly in a gold dress.
She settled below the painting, spreads her legs and holds open her Vulva.
Stattled museum guards flutter round her and she didn't even raise an eyebrow.
Spontaneous applause breaks out during the impromptu show, which ends with Roberties eventually being escorted away by the police.
It was reported that two of the museum guards have filed sexual exhibition complaints against her, for dis respecting the museum rules.
