Une cause célèbre fut exécuté vers 1862-18651 (fig. 1). On reconnaît la composition dans un carnet de ricordi daté de 1862 conservé au musée du Louvre2. Il fit partie des dessins exposés à la galerie Durand-Ruel en 1878, peu avant le décès de l’artiste. Il fit partie aussi du groupe de la collection Esnault-Pelterie montré avec succès à l’Exposition Universelle de 1900. On connaît une première ébauche de la composition où les deux figures étaient inversées (Maison, D.677). Notre dessin et son pendant présentés ici sont deux morceaux d’une feuille préparatoire à l’aquarelle précitée. L’envolée oratoire des plaidoiries d’avocat, avec ses effets de manche théâtraux, se prête particulièrement au style graphique ondulatoire de Daumier. On retrouve ainsi ce goût d’une plume elliptique et virtuose dans plusieurs dessins représentants des avocats (voir par exemple Maison, D.634-635-636). Le croquis de tête en haut à droite peut éventuellement avoir un lien avec une feuille de la même époque, Après l’audience, où l’on retrouve un avocat de profil au long nez (Maison, D.638). 1.Honoré Daumier, Le plaidoyer ou une cause célèbre, pierre noire, lavis, plume, encre, aquarelle, gouache, crayon, ancienne collection Esnault-Peltrerie (voir Maison, op. cit., D680). 2.

Il fit partie aussi du groupe de la collection Esnault-Pelterie montré avec succès à l’Exposition Universelle de 1900. On connaît une première ébauche de la composition où les deux figures étaient inversées (Maison, D.677). Notre dessin et son pendant présentés ici sont deux morceaux d’une feuille préparatoire à l’aquarelle précitée. L’envolée oratoire des plaidoiries d’avocat, avec ses effets de manche théâtraux, se prête particulièrement au style graphique ondulatoire de Daumier. On retrouve ainsi ce goût d’une plume elliptique et virtuose dans plusieurs dessins représentants des avocats (voir par exemple Maison, D.634-635-636). Le croquis de tête en haut à droite peut éventuellement avoir un lien avec une feuille de la même époque, Après l’audience, où l’on retrouve un avocat de profil au long nez (Maison, D.638). 1.Honoré Daumier, Le plaidoyer ou une cause célèbre, pierre noire, lavis, plume, encre, aquarelle, gouache, crayon, ancienne collection Esnault-Peltrerie (voir Maison, op. cit., D680). 2.
