The story begins with the introduction of Dorian Gray, a stunningly handsome young man who has just arrived in London. He becomes infatuated with his own image, as captured by the artist Basil Hallward. During the portrait sitting, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a charismatic and hedonistic friend of Basil's. Lord Henry's words of encouragement and hedonistic worldview have a profound impact on Dorian, leading him to make a Faustian bargain: he wishes that the portrait of him would age instead of himself.

ბასილთან საუბრისას, ლორდ ჰენრი ვოტონი ჩნდება და დორიან გრეის ცხოვრების ფილოსოფიას ცვლის. ის ამბობს, რომ ცხოვრება არის ერთი დიდი სიამოვნება და რომ ადამიანი უნდა ისარგებლოს ყოველი მომენტით.
