The MLA tells us that when citing a work of art on a works cited page, you should state the artist's name, followed by the title of the work. If you wish to include a date, it will follow the title of the work. You then need to list the institution that houses the work or the individual who owns it, followed by the city. For example: Bernini, Gianlorenzo. Ecstasy of St. Theresa. Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome. If you are using a photograph of the work, you will need to add the complete publication information of your source. For example: Cassatt, Mary. Mother and Child. 1890. Witchita Art Museum, Wichita. American Painting: 1560–1913. By John Pearce. New York: McGraw, 1964. Slide 22. (Note: examples cited from the MLA Handbook for Research Writers, Fourth Edition.)
