To cite a picture in APA style (7th edition), you need to include the following elements in your reference list entry:

• Creator's last name and initials
• Year of creation (or "n.d." if no date)
• Title of the image in italics (or a description if untitled, in brackets)
• Medium or format in brackets (e.g., [Photograph], [Painting], [Digital image])
• Source where you accessed the image (website name, museum/gallery name, and URL if online)

Reference List Format for an Online Image

Last name, Initials. (Year). Title of image [Format]. Website name. URL

Example:
Thompson, M. (2020). Canyon wren [Photograph]. Flickr. https://flic.kr/p/2icfzq4

Reference List Format for an Image from a Museum or Gallery

Last name, Initials. (Year). Title of image [Format]. Museum/Gallery name, Location.

Example:
van Gogh, V. (1889). The starry night [Painting]. Museum of Modern Art, New York City, NY, United States.

In-Text Citation

Use the creator's last name and year:

(Last name, Year)

Example: (van Gogh, 1889)

Including Images Within Your Paper

• Label images as figures (e.g., Figure 1) with a descriptive title above the image.
• Below the image, include a note with copyright information and the source.
• Figures you did not create yourself should be cited both in the list of figures and in the reference list.

Handling Missing Information

• If no title: use a description in brackets.
• If no date: use (n.d.) and include the retrieval date.
• If no creator: start the citation with the image title or description.

This guidance is based on APA 7th edition standards for citing images, as detailed by sources such as Scribbr and Grammarly
