I have a burning need to know stuff and I love asking awkward questions.

Considering both the saintly halo and the armor....Joan of Arc?

Yes. No idea who it's by I'm afraid.

I must dig out my book on her. I tried to read it ages ago but failed. I need to give it another go. Maybe in my upcoming all female reading list..... [muses]

I'm reading another at the moment, and it has at least a half-dozen plates that show her in this same kind of uniform. The author of those is "V.F. Dumond", but I don't know if it's the same here.
