Vincent van Gogh.
The drawing is made in the well-known style of Vincent van Gogh.

He was a Dutch painter, one of the leading exponents of post-impressionism. He has painted some 800 paintings (including 43 self-portraits and 148 watercolours) and made more than 1,600 drawings. A central figure in his life was his younger brother Theo, an art dealer in Paris, who gave him continuous and selfless financial support. The great friendship between them is documented in the numerous letters that were exchanged since August 1872. Of the 800 surviving letters from the painter, some 650 were for Theo; the others are correspondence with friends and family.

From a very young age he had an inclination for drawing. His first job was in an art gallery. He later became a Protestant minister and in 1879, at the age of twenty-six, he went as a missionary to a mining region in Belgium, where he began to attract people from the local community. In 1885 he painted his first major work, The Potato Eaters. At that time his palette was mainly composed of somber and earthy tones. The light and preference for vivid colors for which he is known emerges later, when he moves to the south of France, achieving the fullness of it during his stay in Arles in 1888.

The word "In the style of" is used for a work by an unknown creator who has created a copy of a known work by the named artist.
