This painting was done by Hurbert and Jan van Eyke right around 1432. The long sleeves as near as I can tell were fairly short lived, from about 1420 to about 1445 or so. They come in all sorts of lengths from the extreme end (the one shown) to much shorter (like the guy right next to himi). Hope this helps,
