Dorian's portrait was painted by Basil Hallward, an artist friend. In a Faustian way, Dorian sells his soul to the devil and the painting will age instead of him. After being corrupted by Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian also begins to commit evil acts, including throwing away his girlfriend and wife-to-be (Sybil Vane) and causing her suicide. Due to his increasing age and sins, Dorian's painting gradually changes to depict the ugly, wizened, and despicable side of himself that is not shown by his actual person.
