Encyclopedia > Basil Hallward

Basil Hallward is one of the supporting characters in Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.


Friend to Dorian Gray in Oscar Wilde's only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Basil is a talented artist who paints the fateful portrait that incites the subject (Dorian) to wish that he would remain forever youthful, and the work of art would age in his place.


Basil Hallward is also a close friend of Lord Henry Wotton.


Basil is eventually murdered by Dorian when he finds out that his painting is aging and Dorian is not.
