How do I cite artworks for my works cited page?
How do I cite a photograph in APA style? How do I cite a painting in MLA style? How do I cite a sculpture in Chicago style?
Each style cites artworks a little bit differently. You can find examples below for artwork accessed online through a museum's website, such as Manet's painting, Boating, Donatello's sculpture, Sprite, or Eakins's photograph, Two Pupils in Greek Dress.
