"Gezicht op een rijschool in een buitenwijk te Wenen" (View of a Riding School in a Suburb of Vienna) is an 18th-century print by Basset (1785-1819), currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a grand, formal garden with an elegant, classical building in the background, set against a picturesque backdrop of distant hills. The print showcases a scene of leisure and equestrian activity, with figures on horseback and people gathered in the foreground, suggesting a riding school or a venue for equestrian events. This detailed, brightly colored print provides a glimpse into 18th-century Viennese society and its engagement with outdoor recreation.
