Pierre-Louis Delaval was a French artist, best known for his painting Can Gao, Chinese from Cayenne.
Early in his career the artist imitated Giroud-Triozon in his work, but later showed himself as a brilliant colourist and designer, though without much talent or originality.
His contemporaries felt that he was best suited to historical and religious subjects. Portraits are now considered the most valuable part of Pierre-Louis Delaval's legacy.
