It is by the Orosius Master, ca. 1412: Laches accuses
Sostrata.  Paris, Bil. de L'Arsenal, ms. 664. fol.
213v.

It was illustrating a Roman playwright's plays, but I
can't find easily which playwright.

The picture may be found in French Painting in the
Time of Jean de Berry:  The Limbourgs and Their
Contemporaries (Plates volume), by Millard Meiss,
George Braziller, NY.  ISBN 0-8076-0734-7.  
The text volume does say which playwright, somewhere.
