    Have you ever looked at an old piece of art and thought the only thing it lacked was some hair on the top lip? No, me neither, because we’re adults and the only thing we draw moustaches on is friends who have had too much to drink and passed out.

    Unfortunately the same can’t be said of one unknown prankster at the Villa-Musée Jean-Honoré Fragonard in southern France, who thought it apt to deface some paintings using a felt tip and ballpoint pen. Here’s Huffington Post:

    …the suspect or (group of suspects) defaced a work by Rococo master Jean-Honoré Fragonard, the man behind “The Swing” painting below, along with reproductions of the artist’s work and originals by François Gérard and François-André Vincent. Just as the identity of the vandal is unknown, so is the motive behind the crime.

    The damage, which allegedly took place on separate occasions in early September and mid-October, took the form of circular scribbles, lines, a hole in the canvas and, yes, a not-quite-hipster ‘stache. No one was impressed.

    Drawing a ‘tache is one thing, scribbling and poking holes is quote another mystery prankster(s). Stick to the passed out mates I’d say, at the very least I don’t see them pressing charges when they catch you.
