As drawing instructor at the Lycée Louis Le Grand in Paris, he was a teacher of Théodore Géricault and perhaps also Eugène Delacroix.[3] He was employed extensively to make preparatory drawings for the engravings of Pierre Laurent's publication, Le Musée français; his drawing for Charles Clément Bervic's celebrated engraving[4] of the sculpture of Laocoön is among the 27 examples attributed to him in this work. Pierre Bouillon was also responsible for a publication devoted exclusively to the classical sculpture of the Louvre Museum, consisting of plates which he drew and etched himself, Le Musée des antiques ..., issued in 3 large folio volumes, 1811–1827.
