Nope. That is one hundred percent modern. The elastic at the waistline and the overall shape of the sleeves as well as the color are all not accurate.
This one in the white and the cream isn't bad - there was something similar worn in the early 16th C in Italy, Spain, and Germany.
This is better
But, really, if you know how to sew, shifts/chemises are really simple to make. It's what I tell most people to make first when they are learning to sew. It's two big rectangles for the body, two smaller ones for the sleeves, squares for under the arms (no matter how full the sleeves are, you need the squares!), and maybe four right triangles for the gussets on the sides if you want the bottom part wide. From there, it's just gathering the neckline and the cuffs. That's it. Here's a better write up.
It takes me maybe an hour to cut out the chemise and sew it up on the machine any more. I can hand sew one, in the completely accurate way, in 8 hours.
Just get some cotton voile (sheer, hanky weight cotton) or linen (more accurate - joanns has a hanky weight linen/cotton that is FABULOUS for chemises) and sew it up.
Here is a list of free medieval and renaissance patterns that are online. Most have very simple instructions.
