Nicolas Eustache Maurin

Nicolas Eustache Maurin (1799–1850) was a French painter, lithographer and engraver. His lithographs, particularly those characteristic of their period, are highly sought after. He was the younger son of the painter Pierre Maurin; his elder brother was the painter Antoine Maurin.

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 for the Salon of 1833, Salon of 1834, and Salon of 1835.
