Life
Argunow was the son of the serf painter Ivan Argunow and, like his father, serf of Count Pyotr Sheremetew and, after his death, Count Nikolai Sheremetew . He learned to draw from his father. As an architect he trained with Vasily Baschenow in St. Petersburg, where he also studied the St. Petersburg court architecture.
