Fuller completed many portraits during her lifetime, both in bust and relief formats. Dr. Alfred Elijah Perkins Rockwell (1870-1949) was born in Heidelberg, German. He married fellow physician Lucy Emma Wetherbee (1876-1921) in 1915 in Boston, MA and lived in CT and MA. Since Fuller's husband was also a doctor, it is possible they knew each other through the medical field.
