There is a resemblance. But, after seeing one of Vincent's paintings of his "twin", Alexander Reid, I have to say I have to wait for further proof that the photo is really Vincent. Perhaps a photograph of Alexander Reid may be helpful.
In particular, the eyes don't look right to me. Especially in John Peter Russell's painting of Vincent. By all accounts this painting was the best likeness of Vincent. Doesn't look much like the photo to me.
The eyes look more like Theo's, very pale, not like the photo of Vincent as a teenager.
If you want to see a photo that looks more like Vincent, look at one of George Auriol (Jean-George Huyot). I thought I'd discovered a photo of Vincent and Theo at Chat Noir, but, no, it was George and Narcisse Lebeau.
