A CLUMSY art-lover damaged a rare Picasso painting after losing her balance and tripping onto the masterpiece.
Sky News reported the woman collided with the $143m century-old work, called The Actor, and caused a 15cm vertical tear in the lower right hand corner.
The accident happened at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, where its experts have been assessing the damage.
The Met said the tear did not affect "the focal point of the composition" and expected the repair, which will take place in the next few weeks, to be "unobtrusive".
