Artist unknown. And the woman is Jeanne of Bourbon, Duchess of Bourbon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_of_Bourbon,_Duchess_of_Bourbon “For the duchess tomb; a magnificent effigy tomb was commissioned with the effigy wearing a crown on her head and her feet resting on a lion, of which now only a stone sculpture of the cadaver monument type (now housed at the Louvre) remains.”
