Barbara Penson Austin Taylor (1891–1951) was a British sculptor.
Taylor was born in West Derby, a suburb of Liverpool, and studied in London at the Westminster School of Art, at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art and then at the British School in Rome.[1][2] After studying stone carving techniques in the workshop of a monumental mason, Taylor established a studio in London, being based in Chelsea for a long period.[3][4] She produced portrait heads, busts and figures in bronze, stone and plaster.[3] Until a few years before her death, Taylor was a regular exhibitor with the Royal Academy in London and also with the London Group and the Society of Women Artists.[1][3] Manchester City Art Gallery holds examples of her work.[2]
