UniSQ Oxford Referencing Guide

How to reference an image or work of art

• If you are mentioning an image but not reproducing it, follow the referencing guidelines for the type of source the image is displayed in, for example, book, web document, webpage. 
• If reproducing the image include a Figure number and a footnote, for example, Figure 1 ³, for the first use of a figure that corresponds to the third footnote. Figures and footnotes are numbered sequentially.
• Include a list of Figures at the end of the assignment that includes Figure number, artist name, artwork title, year, and medium.
• Repository is the museum, gallery, library or venue the artwork/image is held at.
• Images from texts are formatted similarly to a chapter in a book. See example below.

Standard formatting:

Footnote: Author First name Last name, Title of Work, City, Repository, year.

Bibliographic citation: Author Last name, First name. Title of Work. City: Repository, year.
