Chicago Style for Paintings

Here is the website we found in class for citing paintings: http://libguides.dickinson.edu/c.php?g=56088&p=360209

We don't need to put all of the information about the size or medium - we want to make sure:

• When was this first printed?
• Who is the artist?
• Where is the work found?
• If it's online, provide the URL.
• Put the date you accessed this image.

The example we found: "A Society of Patriotic Ladies"

Footnotes

When using footnotes, you do not need a separate bibliography in a short paper. This is because you've given all the information in your footnote.
