Herbert Barbee (October 8, 1848 – March 22, 1936[1]) was an American sculptor from Luray, Virginia. He was the son of William Randolph Barbee (1818–1868), also a renowned sculptor, who he studied with in Florence, Italy for some time. One author said of him, "Herbert Barbee made stone speak as life. He left us a marble monument that endures today, an honor to Luray, Page County and Virginia."[2] He is buried at the Stover Cemetery in Luray. He also crafted monuments to the Confederacy in Washington and Warrenton, Virginia.[3][4]

Barbee placed a bust in dedication of his father at Mary's Rock.
