Anytime you need to display a piece of content—like an image with an optional caption, consider using a `<figure>`.
Use the included `.figure` , `.figure-img` and `.figure-caption` classes to provide some baseline styles for the HTML5 `<figure>` and `<figcaption>` elements. Images in figures have no explicit size, so be sure to add the `.img-fluid` class to your `<img>` to make it responsive.
{{< example >}}
<figure class="figure">
{{< placeholder width="400" height="300" class="figure-img img-fluid rounded" >}}
<figcaption class="figure-caption">A caption for the above image.</figcaption>
</figure>
{{< /example >}}
Aligning the figure's caption is easy with our [text utilities]({{< docsref "/utilities/text#text-alignment" >}}).
{{< example >}}
<figure class="figure">
{{< placeholder width="400" height="300" class="figure-img img-fluid rounded" >}}
<figcaption class="figure-caption text-right">A caption for the above image.</figcaption>
</figure>
{{< /example >}}
