@Mormoironier, hello. I added an image to the article (and let me know if got it wrong, the source didn't have any biographical details), this is allowed per WP-rules (WP:NFCI) since Sir Richard in no longer with us, but in general, WP:s rules on copyright are very (very) strict.
In short, in WP-land you can "donate" pictures you have taken yourself and so can other people. So if you have such a picture you think would be better for this article, you can upload it with the process that starts here. That is a link to Commons, a sister-site where we keep the "free" images. If you know someone else who has taken such a picture you can encourage them to register and upload it with the same process. And if you think the current pic is good enough (I thought it was better than [1]), don't bother.
@Gråbergs Gråa Sång Mormoironier uploaded a new image, which I've swapped out for yours. I'll create a proper infobox later as I continue to work on the article. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:30, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
An infobox just summarises what is in the main article, so there's no need for you to provide more than you have already done. See David Coleman for an example of how one typically looks. Infoboxes are well structured to be machine-readable so they help search engines index articles correctly. In some types of article (e.g. chemistry, which I often edit), the infobox includes cross-references and all sorts of "boring" information: see aspirin.

Done. Added to Infobox. It was already in the WP:LEAD. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:37, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
