## About Charles Maurin

Charles Maurin (1856–1914) was a French painter and printmaker whose work crossed painting and graphic art. Wikidata, Getty ULAN, and VIAF connect him to a consistent institutional identity, although one authority heading preserved by VIAF gives 1854 rather than 1856 as his birth year. Because the collected institutional material does not establish one definitive movement, Maurin is better introduced through his media than assigned an unsupported school label. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings, prints, and engravings, with catalogued titles indicating that figurative subjects, bathers, and entertainment scenes can occur. His presence in museum and library authority systems helps distinguish him from similarly named people and connect catalogued works and auction records to the appropriate artist. Any appraisal should still test the individual object's medium, attribution, and relationship to documented examples rather than rely on the artist name alone.

## Common works and media

Works most plausibly encountered are paintings and works on paper produced through printmaking or engraving. The source pack also surfaces catalogued titles concerning the Folies-Bergère and a bather, suggesting that figurative and entertainment subjects may occur, but it does not support a complete subject taxonomy or definitive list of series. Each object's medium and attribution should be checked against institutional records and comparable catalogued examples.

## Market and appraisal context

Public auction records can provide a comparison set, but Maurin's paintings and graphic works should be evaluated within their respective categories. A painting is not directly comparable to an engraving or another type of print merely because both carry the same artist attribution. Appraisily's artist record supplies auction-price context when relevant sale records are available, including sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. The collected source pack does not establish a price trend, catalogue raisonné, or edition guidance, so it does not support a forecast. Condition, dimensions, provenance, signature, print state, and the strength of attribution remain object-specific questions that require documentation and specialist assessment.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source limitations and identity conflicts are retained rather than resolved by guesswork.
