Richard is a white man with short grey hair and black rimmed glasses. He wears a clerical collar and black shirt under a casual light jacket and stands holding onto the wooden railing of a boat or a jetty on a lake. The shoreline in the distance has trees, and some buildings, and there are mountains in the distant background. The sky is pale blue with some clouds and the sun is shining on Richard.
