Credit Line
A credit line is a list of important facts about a work of art. You will find credit lines not only in
art books, but also other publications with artwork. Most credit lines contain at least six facts.
They are as follows:
Name of the artist.
Title of the work. This always appears in italics.
Year the work was created. Sometimes, in the case of older works, "c" appears before the
year. This is an abbreviation for circa, a Latin word meaning "about" or "around".
Medium used by the artist. This is the material used to make art. If more than one medium is
used, the credit line may read "mixed media".
Size of the work. The first number is always the height, the second number is the width, and if
the work is three-dimensional, the third number indicates the depth.
Location of the work. The location names the gallery, museum, or collection in which the
work is housed and the city, state, and
country. The names of the donors may
also be included.

1. What is the title?
