Liberty Leading the People which commemorates the July Revolution of 1830, was on display at the Louvre Lens museum.
A woman walked up to the Delacroix painting and sprayed a graffiti tag on it.
A restorer is going to examine the painting and determine if it can simply be cleaned.
Police have not released the identity of the woman, but said she had a French sounding name, suggesting she might not be French.
Witnesses said that the graffiti referenced a 9-11 conspiracy.
