from en.wiki description: Jeanne d'Arc at the Siege of Orléans by Jules Eugène Lenepveu, painted 1886–1890. The painting is a highly romanticized representation. Jeanne did not wear plate mail; according to the testimony at her trial [1]:

Jeanne put off and entirely abandoned woman's clothes; with her hair cropped short and round like a young fop's, she wore shirt, breeches, doublet, with hose joined together and fastened to the said doublet by 20 points, long leggings laced on the outside, a short mantle reaching to the knees, or thereabouts, a close-cut cap, tightfitting boots and buskins, long spurs, sword, dagger, breastplate, lance and other arms in the style of a man-at-arms, with which she performed actions of war and affirmed that she was fulfilling the commands of God as they had been revealed to her.

The banner matches the description given at her trial:

Asked whether, when she went to Orleans, she had a standard or banner and what color it was, she answered she had a banner, with a field sown with lilies; the world was depicted on it, and two angels, one at each side; it was white, of white linen or boucassin, and on it were written, she thought, these names, Jhesus Maria; and it was fringed with silk.
