Charles Penne was a pupil of Léon Cogniet and Charles Jacque. In 1857 he was awarded second prize in the Grand Prix de Rome for his painting Jesus and the Samaritan Woman. He exhibited at the Paris Salon and at the Salon des Artistes Français and was awarded a bronze medal in 1872, a silver medal in 1883 and a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1889.
Penne produced caricatures for L'Illustration before moving on to historical subjects; in 1855 he was inspired by Victor Hugo but quickly moved on from this genre and turned to painting animals, particularly dogs. His paintings reveal his love of animals and his understanding of their character.
