APA Citations (7th ed.)

Describe the visual work in square brackets--for example, "[Clip art]," "[Infographic]," "[Painting]," and so forth in the title element of the reference.

In the source element, provide the name and location of the museum for artwork, department and university name for materials found in archives, or the site from which a visual work was received.

If you want to reproduce an visual work rather than just cite it, you may need to seek permission from the copyright owner.
