Oscar Wilde's only published full-length novel is set in late nineteenth century England in a London studio where Basil Hallward, an aspiring artist, puts the finishing touches on a portrait of his handsome young friend Dorian Gray. Dorian looks at the portrait and wishes that the portrait might grow old while he remains forever young. Throughout the story, Dorian spends his life pursuing fresh experiences and new sensations. Dorian's looks do not change, however; only the portrait, secretly hidden in the attic of his residence, with which he has grown increasingly obsessed. More and more, as Dorian struggles to hide his true identity, the portrait reveals his progressive pathway to dissolution.
