Biography

Born in Toulouse, Ségoffin's early education was at the Lycée Pierre-de-Fermat. After school he was admitted to the Toulouse School of Fine Arts in the studio of Charles Ponsin-Andarahy. In 1887, having become an orphan, he joined the army. He took further education at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Louis-Ernest Barrias and Pierre-Jules Cavelier. Ségoffin won the Prix de Rome for sculpture in 1897. His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1912 Summer Olympics.[1]

In 1920 he was appointed head of the women's studio at the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1906 he was made a chevalier of the Légion d'honneur, and an officier in 1911.[2] A street in Toulouse is named after him.
