A painting is a secondary source. A painting may be done years after the event has happened.For example, the painting of Betsy Ross showing the American flag she made to George Washington is in many textbooks. The painting was made by an artist commissioned by a member of Betsy Ross' family. There is no proof that Betsy Ross actually made this flag.http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2002-01-13/news/0201130008_1_ross-sewed-betsy-ross-weisgerber

It depends what the picture is. If it's a picture of a painting in which the artist was there when whatever it was happened (example: a painting of the Battle of Yorktown in which the artist was there) it would be a primary source. If it was a picture where the person wasn't there (example: someone dressed up as George Washington) it would be a secondary source.
A primary source is someone who was there and saw the event. To judge the authenticity of the source, a person may ask details of the place, time, and what exactly they saw. They can then compare this to other sources.
Primary source because a primary source is from the past/something from someone whose been in that time but a secondary source is something from us/people who have not been in that time, and its also what we think happened then.
