If no attribution directly on image, assume author of source material is the author.
The reference list refers to the entire article/chapter/book, rather than the figure itself. Use the relevant format for the source.
If an image does not have a title, use a description in square brackets instead.
For images of a factual nature, use Maps/diagrams etc. - Figure.
If you have seen the original artwork use Creative works - Artwork.
