Type the artist's last name, followed by a comma. Then type the artist's first initial, followed by their middle initial, if available. Type the year the artist painted the work in parentheses. Place a period outside the closing parentheses. Then, type the title of the painting in italics, capitalizing only the first word and any proper nouns in the title. In square brackets, describe the materials or medium of the painting. Use sentence-case for the description as well. Place a period after the closing bracket. Type the name of the museum, institution, or collection where the painting is housed. Place a comma, then type the name of the city, also followed by a comma. If you viewed the painting in a book or online, rather than in person, include the author, title, date of publication, and publication information at the end of your reference list entry. Then, put the year in parentheses after the title of the painting.
