Thank you in advance.

Edited to say: Come to think of it this question may be better suited to Café Society. Mods - please move if you agree. Sorry…
It’s a photograph by Michael Thompson of the actress Julianne Moore posing in the style of La Grande Odalisque, a painting by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres.
Well, the photographer’s name is given in the upper-right corner of the image: Michael Thompson.
After that, a few minutes of Googling turned up the rest of the information:

The model is actress Julianne Moore, and the photo is intended as a modern version of the painting La Grande Odalisque by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
Thank you both!

It blows my mind every time I use it.
For your example, just seeing the list of answers without clicking on any of them was enough to give the name of Julianne Moore.
And if you have any more nudes you need help identifying don’t hesitate to post them…
