He was a painter of historical scenes, genre scenes, figures, portraits and landscapes. Soubre was a pupil of J. Barthelemy Viellevoye at the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Liege. He was also an architect by profession. From 1893-1895 he exhibited at the Cercle des Beaux-Arts in Liege. Soubre was very much at ease in painting grand compositions depicting many figures depicting a story. Charles married Eugènie Françoise Joséphine Soubre (born Cajot in 1827). They had one daughter, Françoise Elisabeth Battaille (born Soubre). Charles Soubre passed away in 1895, at age 74.
