Maude Goodman (1860–1938) was a British painter.
Biography
Goodman was born in Manchester but moved to London where she became a pupil of Edward Poynter. She married Arthur Scanes in 1882 but continued to use her maiden name. She exhibited 54 works during the years 1874-1901 at the Royal Academy. She also showed works at the Chicago World Exposition in 1893.
Her painting Hush was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.
She was mentioned by Dorothy L. Sayers in The Wimsey Papers VI as an overly cloying painter of idealised children in Arcadian settings; the writer reported that the boys in her nursery of the 1890s took a gift Goodman out of its frame and used it as a pea-shooting target.
She is mentioned in E.M. Forster's A Passage to India. Dr. Aziz would have hung her paintings on the walls of Mr. Fielding's apartment if he had had it.
