"Das ovale Porträt" (engl.: "The Oval Portrait") ist eine 1842 erstmals unter dem Titel "Der Tod im Leben" ("Life in Death") veröffentlichte Kurzgeschichte von Edgar Allan Poe, die das Verhältnis von Kunst und Leben thematisiert. Sie ist einer seiner kürzesten Prosatexte. Der Ich-Erzähler hat sich, nachdem er aus Gründen, die ungeklärt bleiben, verwundet wurde, mit seinem Diener in eine verlassene Burg im Apennin geflüchtet, die nicht nur komplett, sondern prachtvoll eingerichtet ist.

Mein Fieber war äußerst hitzig und langwierig. Alle Heilmittel, die ich mir in den wilden Apenninen verschaffen konnte, hatte ich schon erfolglos angewandt. Mein Kammerdiener und einziger Mitbewohner des einsamen Schlosses war zu nervös und zu ungeschickt, um mich zur Ader zu lassen; überdies hatte ich auch bei dem Zusammenstoß mit den Banditen Blut genug verloren. Da fiel mir ein, dass ich noch ein kleines Paket Opium in meiner Tabatiere bei mir hatte.

"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.

In The Oval Portrait, Edgar Allan Poe weaves a haunting tale of obsession, art, and tragedy. A wounded traveler takes refuge in an abandoned mansion, where she becomes mesmerized by a lifelike portrait of a beautiful woman. As she delves deeper into the painting’s mysterious origins, the disturbing and supernatural truth behind the portrait begins to unravel. Poe's gothic storytelling masterfully blurs the line between reality and the supernatural in this chilling short story.

Flash fiction from the master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. A wounded gentleman, with his valet, breaks into an abandoned chateau in the Appennine mountains.

To his shock, a man discovers the painting of a woman is much, much more than life-like.

A traveler takes refuge in a château where he finds he is surrounded by fine paintings. Unable to sleep he takes refuge in a book. He moves the candelabrum to shed better light upon the book, but when he does so he discovers in the corner of the room and amazingly lifelike painting of a young woman. It is so real, and he is first so startled that he must close his eyes to gather his wits. After contemplating this painting for nearly an hour he discovers a catalog that describes the painting.

The book describes a tragic story involving a young maiden of 'the rarest beauty'. She loved and wedded an eccentric painter who cared more about his work than anything else in the world, including his wife. The painter eventually asked his wife to sit for him, and she obediently consented, sitting "meekly for many weeks" in his turret chamber. The painter worked so diligently at his task that he did not recognize his wife's fading health, as she, being a loving wife, continually 'smiled on and still on, uncomplainingly'.
