i don't think it's a bascinet, the bottom is flared and edged which bascinets didn't do so as to mount the mail aventail on the helmet. looks more like a barbuta or celata/sallet.
the visor still doesn't look right for that, but the question is whether the artist just slapped it together in their design or they were looking at an incorrectly reconstructed artifact. many such cases that 19th century antiquarians went digging through old boxes of armor and made fits that looked cool on a stand but had mixed provenance and bad ergonomics. a visor-mismatch is a classic mistake from that
the Visor on his bascinet looks wrong. I know this artist is 19th to early 20th century, but it's still surprising the he fucked up that badly.
