Alfred Roll is born into times that could not have been more eventful. Technical progress developed rapidly and with great potential. Big cities were formed and people began to live very close together. If art was previously determined by major currents, artistic styles and movements alternated in rapid succession. The transitions were no longer fluid. Parallel to this, different art movements had their justification. For the first time, artists opened their eyes to society and began to openly incorporate social criticism into their works. Alfred Roll was an important representative of Naturalism, a movement that represented reality without embellishment. His motifs still included life in the country, private family scenes but also the consequences of city life.
When Édouard Manet declared naturalism at the World Exhibition in Paris at a point that opened the threshold to impressionism, Roll deepened his naturalistic mode of representation. He refined his choice of colours and went out to paint outdoors. The realistic representation was the focus of his motifs. Gone are the days of punctual light reflections. The pictures were illuminated by sunshine and the light play of the day. The brushwork is light and exhilarating without sacrificing a lifelike representation. The transitions between naturalists and realists are not clearly defined. Naturalists show a great love of nature in their works and find suitable motifs here. Realists tend to take up the negative effects of industrialization. Roll also showed these approaches and commented on social issues. The painter depicted stonemasons on the Seine, bricklayers and carpenters in paintings rich in figures.

Alfred Roll was 72 years old and spent much of his life in vibrant Paris. As great as the criticism of big-city life was, the exchange between the artists was just as important. The city was a centre for art and culture and was a pulse generator for currents. The private life of the artist remained private. While many of his artist colleagues are attributed ties to models, Alfred Roll seems to have led a life for painting.
