Stilleben mit Topfpflanze, Früchten und kleiner Skulptur

Bauknecht trained in Stuttgart under the guidance of the Jugendstil painter Bernhard Pankok. In 1901 he fell gravely ill with tuberculosis and, like Kirchner, moved to Davos in Switzerland to recover. From 1916 onwards, Bauknecht exhibited frequently in Davos, and in 1924 participated in the Neue Deutsche Kunst exhibition in Stuttgart, alongside Dix, Heckel, Kirchner, Klee and Schmidt-Rottluff.
