Dutch, I belive.  There's more text at the website -- higher up the 
"tree" as it were.  Websearches on her name turn up a lot, too.  The 
draped undersleeve like that is seen in several other paintings of this 
time, most notably the Tres Riches Heures.

marvelous image from 1430:

Note the two ties holding the skirt of the houp closed!  I'd never seen 
that before, although I (and probably others) have theorized that they 
were open on the center front, but held closed somehow.
