George Franklin Archer and the Archer Residence is a 1871 oil by Charles S. Humphreys, a American Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a man, George Franklin Archer, standing in front of a house. This work is interesting because it gives us a glimpse of life in the 19th century. The artist paid attention to details like the furniture and the clothes people wore back then. The painting is a window to the past. To learn more, look up the technique of glazing.
