was a French painter, engraver and illustrator born in Orléans. From a modest background, he developed a passion for drawing at an early age, and continued his training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, drawing inspiration from the Impressionists and Cézanne.
His artistic career began before the First World War and brought him to the attention of the École de Paris milieu.

Asselin exhibits in France and abroad, notably in London, and befriends the British painter Walter Sickert.
During the war, he took part in artists' missions to the armies, documenting life at the front.
After the war, he developed a style marked by gentleness and realism, tackling a variety of themes such as still lifes, portraits, nudes and, above all, maternity. His landscapes are often inspired by Brittany.
