He was a painter and printmaker and the son of Charles-Francois Daubigny. He studied with his father and, like him, specialized in landscape painting. His earliest works are obviously influenced by his father, but he soon came to develop a more personal and sombre style. The forest of Fontainebleau or the coastline and landscape of Brittany and Normandy provided most of his subjects. His special affection for the riverbanks and meadows of his native Auvers-sur-Oise are the inspiration for his finest works. He produced a number of landscape etchings, including several after his father's paintings, two of which appeared in Frederic Henriet's C. Daubigny et son oeuvre grave.

His first exhibition at the Paris Salon was in 1863. He exhibited regularly and won medals in 1868 and 1874 both in Paris and in Philadelphia. Unfortunately Karl Pierre Daubigny died prematurely in 1886 at the age of forty at the height of his career.
