A climate activist glued his head to Johannes Vermeer's iconic Girl with a Pearl Earring painting in the latest demonstration targeting famous art pieces.
A video posted on social media shows a man trying to glue his head to the painting in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, while another protester poured what appears to be tomato soup on the multi-million dollar painting.
"How do you feel when you see something beautiful and priceless being apparently destroyed before your eyes?" he said. "Do you feel outrage? Good. That is the feeling when you see the planet being destroyed before our very eyes?"
Local police said in a tweet they had arrested three people for "public violence".
In a statement to the Associated Press, the museum said the painting was not damaged.
The protesters were wearing "Just Stop Oil" t-shirts, which is a coalition of groups working to ensure the Government commits to halting new fossil fuel licensing and production, their website states.
Earlier this month, two different protesters from the group threw a can of tomato soup on Vincent Van Gogh's painting Sunflowers and glued their hands to the wall.
Those protesters - Anna Holland, 20, and Phoebe Plummer, 21, - pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates' court to the vandalism of the NZ$148 million 1888 Sunflowers painting.
