Flowers were considered an appropriately genteel subject for women artists and were easy to obtain for copying, whether from life or books. Amateur women painters, like Kellinger, often practiced their craft as an economical and self-fulfilling way to decorate their homes. Kellinger may have intended these for the walls of the Yonkers boarding house that her family operated or perhaps gave them to the donor for the same purpose. Both were lifelong Yonkers residents and probably friends.
