French sculptor Victor Segoffin was educated at the École Nationale Supérieur des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1897 he won the prestigious Prix de Rome for a relief. From 1920, until his death, Segoffin taught mostly women at his studio at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. His style was mostly Art Nouveaux with his sculptures mostly done in marble or bronze, but influenced by Rodin’s expressionism. He created mainly busts, tombs and monuments as well as statuettes. In 1906 he became a Knight, and 1911 Officer, of the Legion of Honor.
