You are REALLY stretching it, trying to claim that drawing is "poached" from your photograph. The drawing is vaguely similar, but IMO that's as far as it goes.
You could try taking them to court, but that will probably be a big waste of your money.
Save your outrage for when someone actually takes and uses your images, claiming they are their own.

I see no way you can accuse him of copying your photo. There is no resemblance other than two people hugging.

I see why you are drawing the conclusion you have, but the fact that 2 people in a piece of art are hugging and you have a shot of 2 people hugging (regardless of a popular hair style) won't get you much further than coincidence to me.
Even if it were true that your photo was the inspiration of his art work, inspiration for art is almost always built on what moves us. .

It's not gonna win if it goes to a jury. Then there's the whole different issue called "derivitive. Works" everybody is allowed to make a different work based on the inspiration of the original. But it must be different it can not be a carbon copy. In this case it's a drawing and not a copy of a photograph. If someone were to simply colorize your photo it could possibly qualify as a derivitive.
Only your original photo is protected under us copywrite law and that for 50 years after your death.
It does look pretty close. But playing devils advocate: there is a chain necklace in your image and no such chain in the copy image.
If it was an exact copy.of your image you would have a legal right to ask it be removed from online.
As it is it is merely a drawing a completely different format..probably a derivitive- but equally protected by law just the same .

I'll bet that if you searched longbenough you could find thousands of drawings and photos that have much in common with your photo and the drawing.

From my perspective, the images have nothing in common other than two individuals. The drawing is more like “The Kiss”. The theme is way too commonplace—and I would have Never have made the connection between the two that you did.
