Nicolas Eustache Maurin (1799–1850) was a French painter, lithographer and engraver. His lithographs, particularly those characteristic of their period, are highly sought after.[1]

Life

Nicolas Eustache Maurin was born in Perpignan, Pyrénées-Orientales, on 6 March 1799.[2] He was the younger son of the painter Pierre Maurin; his elder brother was the painter Antoine Maurin.[1]

Maurin received his first artistic lessons in his father's studio. He received an allowance from the town and the department to study in Paris, which enabled him to enter Henri Regnault's studio as a pupil. He exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1833, 1834, and 1835.[1]

He established himself as a lithographer in 1830 and distinguished himself mainly with some amusing and erotic pictures of different types of women. He is notable as a painter of fashions and manners; examples include: Love, Modesty, Tenderness, Tender Avowal, Love Match, Nuptial Chamber, Day after the Wedding, Sacred and Profane, and Maternal and Conjugal Love.[1]

He also produced the series Iconography of Contemporaries (Iconographie des contemporains), and a series of 163 portraits entitled Contemporary Celebrities (Célébrités contemporaines).[1]

Maurin died in Passy, Paris on 7 October 1850, aged fifty-one.[3]
