Walter Goodman (11 May 1838 - 20 August 1912) was a British painter, illustrator and author. The son of British portrait painter Julia Salaman (1812-1906) and London linen draper, Louis Goodman (1811-1876), he studied with J. M. Leigh and at the Royal Academy in London, where he was admitted as a student in 1851. Recent research has unearthed details of around fifty works by Goodman. Unfortunately the present whereabouts of most these are unknown, notable exceptions being The Printseller (c.1882), acquired by the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester in 1998, portraits of actresses Mary Anne Keeley (also known as Mrs. Keeley At Fourscore) and Fanny Stirling (1885), both in the collection of London's Garrick Club, A Kitchen Cabinet, a trompe l'oeil painting in a private collection in New York, and a Cuban scene, Home of the Bamboo, in a private collection in London.
