Axel Herman Hägg arbetade som arkitekt, började sedan måla i akvarell och övergick slutligen till etsning, inom vilken konstgren han snart vann anseende. Särskilt behandlade han arkitektoniska motiv, som pittoreska idyller från små engelska städer eller partier från de stora katedralerna. Hans teknik var djärv med kraftiga kontraster. Han var lärare till Anders Zorn.
