  How do I properly cite a painting I'm only showing a small part of?

  is it:

  detail, "painting title", media, 00" x 00"

  Any help would be appreciated.
  Thanks,

  What style? Or is it informal?

  For example, MLA style would be:

  A Painting, Sculpture, or Photograph (original print on display)

  1. Works Cited Citation format:

  Name of Creator. Title. Name of Museum or Place of Presentation, City.

  2. Works Cited Citation example:

  Da Vinci, Leonardo. Mona Lisa. Louvre, Paris.

  3. In-text citation format:

  (Last Name)

  4. In-text citation example:

  (Da Vinci)

  • But you could probably add on extra information to the end, such as size.– Jaline1/4

    I don't think it matters too much, as long as you are consistent.– Jaline2/4

    MLA is pretty strict– pencilpants3/4

    It depends on the institution or professor you have, so it has to do with academics more than anything else.– Jaline4/4
