An Instagram model has been slated for breaking the nose off a 200-year-old statue in a desperate bid for likes.
Julia Slonska has lost a lucrative advertising deal after smashing the statue in a misguided attempt to gain more Instagram followers.
The moment she defaced the angel sculpture with a hammer in Warsaw's Swiss Valley Park was captured on camera and has been shared widely online.
In footage lasting six seconds, the influencer looks at the camera and laughs before hitting the statue's face in a number of rapid blows.
Quickly, the nose of the statue tumbles to the ground which induces laughter from Slonska's friend.

According to News.com.au , a video of the incident was posted on Youtube which amassed over 6,000 views before it was taken down.
She was also tagged in the clip also uploaded to her friend's Instagram where she received a massive backlash from viewers.
Julia and her pal reportedly concocted the scheme in an attempt to get more likes and clicks on the influencer's social media accounts.
Twitter users rushed to slam her behaviour with some saying she was "dumb and brainless" where others thought she should face legal action.
Twitter user Mehmet Susaz wrote: "She has to be in jail" where another twitter user wrote "I hope the police will come to her tomorrow {Monday] at 6am".

Following the uproar online, the model has been released from an advertising partnership with the online Polish bank mBank.
mBank have since said that the company was appalled by her behaviour.
They posted on Instagram: "We definitely do not support such behaviour, and the appropriate services should deal with it.
"As for the responsibility for what the actress does many weeks after the completed photos are taken – we cannot be responsible for the individual choices of such people.
"In this case, it’s a role for carers. We do not plan to involve this girl in the next spots."
In an apology translated from Polish, Julia said: "What happened yesterday should not have taken place at all and seriously, I regret that I did it.
"I’m so stupid. I will not say what was driving me, why I did it, because it is more of a private affair, but I really wanted to apologise to everyone."
