Historical - The Oval Portrait is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe involving the disturbing circumstances surrounding a portrait in a chateau. It is one of his shortest stories, filling only two pages in its initial publication in 1842. The tale begins with an injured narrator (the story offers no further explanation of his or her impairment) seeking refuge in an abandoned mansion in the Apennines. The narrator spends his or her time admiring the paintings that decorate the strangely shaped room and perusing a volume, found upon a pillow, that describes them. This is the historical context of the author

Literary Context - “The Oval Portrait" is a short story with Gothic overtones. It is a revision of an earlier Poe story, "Life in Death," published in Graham's Magazine in April 1842.
