He became painter in miniature to King William I as well as the Prince of Orange.
There are several miniatures by him in the Orange-Nassau collection.
Schidlof comments "The technique of Delatour is strongly influenced by Augustin. Like his master, he painted very finely, mixing gum with his colours, which gives them a soft surface like enamel. He is very far from matching Augustin and rather inconsistent in his works, however certain of his miniatures have much merit".
The sitter is unknown.
