"Richelieu for Rhadamanthos" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist J.F. Clemens, created between 1797 and 1822. The artwork depicts a figure representing Cardinal Richelieu, a prominent French statesman, standing before a seated figure representing Rhadamanthos, a judge of the Underworld in Greek mythology. This work highlights the artist's interest in classical mythology and the use of line to depict form and detail. The drawing is now part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
