Charles Xavier Harris was born 1856 in Foxcroft, Maine. He spent his childhood in Minneapolis from where he did a lot of traveling in the United States with his father. He worked as a painter, craftsperson and art restorer. Harris studied in Paris in 1875 at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts. He also traveled in Spain, Sicily, Italy and North Africa; by 1882, he returned to the United States, settling in New York City. There he acquired a reputation for Italian immigrant genre scenes and paintings of historical Colonial Dutch subjects, an interest that likely led him to the profession of his later years, which was restoration, copying and conservation of historical paintings. In this capacity as restorer, he worked closely with the Art House Gallery in New York and the collection of Thomas B. Clarke, an art dealer and patron of artists contemporary with his lifetime. As a craftsperson, he worked in stained glass. From 1885 to 1897, Charles Harris exhibited yearly in the Academy of Design exhibitions. He eventually relocated permanently in Richmond, Va.
