This Van Vechten photo came to me labeled "Flandrin."  The only Flandrin 
I could find via Google was a French painter from the early 19th Century.

    1. Thank you! Of course you are correct, and others (von Gloeden for one) have also used the pose or very similar ones.

  2. Flandrin is the name of the pose. It's based on a picture done by Flandrin entitled "Study (Young Male Nude Seated Beside the Sea).
