A student of William Bouguereau, Tony Robert Fleury and Gabriel Ferrier, Seignac exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon, won an honorable mention in 1900 and a third class medal in 1903. Throughout Seignac's career the influence of his teachers, particularly Bouguereau, and the teachings of the Academy are evident in his choice of subject matter as well as his skilled execution. It is often recognized that Seignac's best work closely resembles that of William Bouguereau's paintings of the 1890's, with its crisp execution and classical imagery attesting to the student's admiration for the teacher's mastery.
