Abram Efimovich Archipov studied intermittently at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture under Vasilii Perov and Vasilii Polenov. Although he was also a student at the St Petersburg Academy of the Arts between 1884 and 1886, Arkhipov soon became dissatisfied with the Academy\'s system of teaching and returned to Moscow, where he would later spend many years as an instructor at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.
Abram Jefimovitj Archipov var från 1892 professor i målarkonst i Moskva. Arcipovs favoritmotiv var landsbygden och städernas fattigbefolkning. Hans målningar hade ofta ljusa, glada färger. Han började med genrescener, men utvecklade allteftersom ett lyriskt landskapsmåleri som på 1890-talet under en period vek plats för starkt socialkritiska bilder.
