In your Works Cited, you'll want to include as much of the information below as you can:

• Artist’s name or username, surname first
• Title of the work, in italics
• Date of creation
  
• Institution or city in in which the work is located
• Website or database, in italics
• Medium of publication
  
• Date of access
  

The citation will typically look like this:

Artist or user name.  Title.  Date the image was created.  Museum, City.  Web.  Database name or title of site.  Date of access.

MLA (Modern Language Association) Style is used in Literature, Arts, and Humanities disciplines.  Always consult your assignment or ask your instructor for the correct citation style to use.

In the Body of the Paper Use: In-text Citations

Follow the links for how to create the Works Cited Page: 

• Articles (from journals, magazines, and newspapers)
• Books
• Online Sources (including resources from Library Databases, websites, email, etc.)
• Other Sources (like films, TV programs, radio broadcasts, research interviews, etc.)

Just as you would always provide in-text citation information for copied text, you must for images and photographs!

According to the MLA Handbook, images within a research paper "should be labeled Figure (usually abbreviated Fig.), assigned an arabic numeral, and given a caption." Example:

Fig. I. Author Langston Hughes [far left] with [left to right:] Charles S. Johnson; E. Franklin Frazier; Rudolph Fisher and Hubert T. Delaney, on the roof of 580 St. Nicholas Avenue, Harlem, on the occasion of a party in Hughes' honor. 1924. Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture / Photographs and Prints Division, New York.
