"A Soldier Decapitating a Kneeling Figure" is a pen-and-ink drawing credited to the Italian artist Giulio Romano (1499–1546). Created in the Renaissance period, the artwork is an expressive depiction of a soldier beheading a captive, a motif recurrent in Romano’s works, echoing themes of power, dominance, and the tragic consequences of war.

Giulio Romano, originally named Giulio Pippi, was a prominent figure in the school of Raphael, working primarily in Rome and his adopted city of Mantua. His drawings conflict with the serene and harmonious compositions of his mentor and often explore violent and dramatic themes, as exemplified in "A Soldier Decapitating a Kneeling Figure."

The drawing shows a soldier, armored and helmeted, with a sword on mid-swing, aimed towards the neck of a kneeling figure, whose hands are bound and head is downturned, evidently resigned to his fate. The strong use of shadow and detail brings the gruesome scene to life, underscoring the themes of power and brutality that resonate throughout the piece.

As of the current date, the drawing is housed in the British Museum, London. This museum is renowned worldwide for its commitment to preserving artworks spanning over two million years of history.

While the date of creation is unconfirmed, the significant influence of early 16th-century art in Romano's style suggests it was probably created during this period. However, due to the sketch-like nature of the drawing, it may be speculated that it may have been a preparatory work for one of Romano's larger, more complex compositions.
