Mabel Billah Greenberg (1889-1933) was a British artist.
She was born in Birmingham and was well known in Birmingham and in London. She was the daughter of Israel and Miriam Greenberg of Edgbaston, Birmingham. Israel Greenberg was a jeweller, trading as I.S. Greenberg & Co in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. [1]
Greenberg studied at Birmingham Municipal School of Art and the Slade School of Art. Two of her works were shown in Slade student exhibitions: Study of a Young Man won first prize for Head Drawing in 1918 [2] , and Male Figure Standing won the Second Prize for Figure Painting in 1919 and remains in the UCL Art Museum. [3]
Three of Greenberg's paintings are in UK collections:
Other works reported in national and regional press as shown at various exhibitions include:
Press references mention a second portrait [16] of Helene (Helen) Hedin, and with a photograph of Greenberg at work, to a portrait of the actor John Stuart. [17]
Mabel Greenberg died in London on 30 September 1933 and was buried at Witton Jewish Cemetery in Birmingham.

Dame Laura Knight was an English artist who worked in oils, watercolours, etching, engraving and drypoint. Knight was a painter in the figurative, realist tradition, who embraced English Impressionism. In her long career, Knight was among the most successful and popular painters in Britain. Her success in the male-dominated British art establishment paved the way for greater status and recognition for women artists.
Anna Airy was an English oil painter, pastel artist and etcher. She was one of the first women officially commissioned as a war artist and was recognised as one of the leading women artists of her generation.
Dame Ethel Walker was a Scottish painter of portraits, flower-pieces, sea-pieces and decorative compositions. From 1936, Walker was a member of The London Group. Her work displays the influence of Impressionism, Puvis de Chavannes, Gauguin and Asian art. Walker achieved considerable success throughout her career, becoming the first female member elected to the New English Art Club in 1900. Walker's works were exhibited widely during her lifetime, at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of Arts and at the Lefevre Gallery. She represented Britain at the Venice Biennale four times, in 1922, 1924, 1928 and 1930. Although Walker proclaimed that 'there is no such thing as a woman artist. There are only two kinds of artist — bad and good', she was elected Honorary President of the Women's International Art Club in 1932. Soon after her death, she was the subject of a major retrospective at the Tate in 1951 alongside Gwen John and Frances Hodgkins. Walker is now acknowledged as a lesbian artist, a fact which critics have noted is boldly apparent in her preference for women sitters and female nudes. It has been suggested that Walker was one of the earliest lesbian artists to explore her sexuality openly in her works. While Walker was contemporarily regarded as one of the foremost British women artists, her influence diminished after her death, perhaps due in part to her celebration of female sexuality. Made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1943, Walker was one of only four women artists to receive the honour as of 2010.

Amongst her most notable works are The Marriage at Cana produced for the British School at Rome, which is now in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and her winning Rome Scholarship entry The Deluge, which is now held by Tate Britain.
