Maubert trained under the watercolor painter Louis Francia, and settled in Paris around 1836. He improved his skills with Pierre Joseph Redouté at the Museum of Natural History. His training and talent gained him access to scientific circles within the Museum of Natural History. He painted flowers until the day before his death in his Parisian apartment at 15 rue de Buffon in the 5th arrondissement.[3]

Maubert also lived on the rue du Marche aux Chevaux, near the Jardin des plantes.[4]
