All chapters of The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, are in our feed now. buff.ly/3DDqhxa
ALT On a pale pink background, black text reads “Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.” And in the bottom right corner, an image of the open cover pages of The Picture of Dorian Gray. The left page features an illustration of a large full body portrait of a young man, partially covered by a long curtain, and an old man standing bent in front of the curtain. There are harsh shadows on the ground and wall.
