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.

A picture can indeed be a primary source.
A secondary source in art refers to any work that interprets, analyzes, or critiques primary sources, such as original artworks, artifacts, or firsthand accounts. Examples include books, articles, and reviews that discuss or analyze the significance of an artist's work or art movements. Secondary sources provide context and insight, helping to understand the primary sources in a broader historical or cultural framework.
Pictures can be considered primary sources if they are original images created at the time an event occurred, such as photographs, paintings, or drawings. They provide firsthand evidence and insight into a specific moment, person, or place. However, if a picture is used in a context that analyzes or interprets an event or if it is reproduced in a secondary work, it can be classified as a secondary source. Thus, the classification depends on the context in which the picture is used.

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.
