Listing images is probably most like citing an article in a book, with the artist, title, and the museum that holds the work taking the place of author, article title, and book title. If you view the work in person, all you need to add in most cases would be the date the work was produced.
If you use a reproduction or illustration from a printed or Websource, simply add the publication information for your source after you identify the artwork. Follow the other instructions on this website for the relevant kind of source. Note that MLA style asks for information both on who owns the work and on any source you used for a reproduction; APA style asks only for the source you used to retrieve the image.
