Animal rights activists have targeted a portrait of the King, appearing to paste over his face with the animated character Wallace.
A speech bubble, reading, "No cheese Gromit. Look at all this cruelty on RSPCA farms," was also put onto the painting at the Philip Mould gallery in central London.
Animal Rising said two of its supporters were behind the stunt.
They said the artwork was targeted because of the King's love of the British stop-motion Wallace and Gromit comedy franchise created by Nick Park and his status as Royal Patron of the RSPCA.
