La storia, descritta con uno stile velatamente ironico ma delicato, è anche improntata a un certo raffinato decadentismo, tipico di Wilde. Il breve racconto (non più di quattro o cinque pagine) narra la storia di un giovane bello e di modeste risorse che, grazie ad un incredibile, quanto inaspettato colpo di fortuna, riesce ad arricchirsi ed a coronare il suo sogno d'amore. Il gioco della narrazione sta proprio nel finale totalmente a sorpresa che ribalta improvvisamente le prospettive che avevano fino ad un instante prima ingannato il lettore.

Dorian wishes for a painting of himself to take on the effects of aging instead of him so he can give into any vice he wants - and his wish comes true.
