Affleck (1874–c.1935) was a painter and etcher from Ayr who specialized in architectural subjects, and is often ranked alongside Hedley Fitton and Axel Haig. Although best known for his architectural works, he also produced a small number of landscape and topographical scenes.

Of Scottish origin, Affleck eventually settled in London after spending many years traveling and living throughout England, Belgium, France, and Spain. He created etchings depicting views in England, Holland, Italy, Belgium, and America. Around 1910, he moved permanently to France, where he produced some of his finest works, many focusing on French buildings and their interiors. Today, the largest collections of Affleck’s original etchings are housed in the British Museum in London.
