R.P.L. Ségur d'Aguesseau is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man sitting with his legs crossed, holding a cane. His jacket is buttoned up, and his face looks serious. The drawing is mostly in pencil and ink, with some shading to show folds in his clothes. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture his personality. This style was common in 19th-century France.
