"The Neutral- Uncle Sam and Von Turpitz" is a satirical artwork by Henry Tonks, a British surgeon and later a draughtsman and painter, known for his role as a war artist during World War I. Created in 1915, the work is a pastel drawing that reflects the political climate of the time, particularly the neutral stance of the United States in the early years of the war and the perception of German naval policy.

The drawing features two central figures, representing Uncle Sam, the personification of the United States, and Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, the German Naval Secretary. Tonks uses caricature to comment on the tension between American neutrality and German military aggression. The artwork captures the essence of the diplomatic and ideological struggles of the period, with Uncle Sam depicted in a contemplative pose, reflecting the United States' position of non-intervention, while Von Tirpitz is shown with attributes that suggest the threat posed by German U-boat warfare.

Henry Tonks' work is significant for its historical context and its contribution to the genre of political satire in art. As a war artist, Tonks was adept at capturing the nuances of war-time sentiment and the complexities of international relations through his art. "The Neutral- Uncle Sam and Von Turpitz" is a prime example of his skill in using visual media to convey political commentary, and it remains an important piece for understanding the cultural and political landscape of World War I.

The artwork is part of a larger body of work by Tonks that includes portraits of soldiers disfigured by war, as well as other satirical pieces that critique various aspects of the conflict. As with many of his works from this period, "The Neutral- Uncle Sam and Von Turpitz" serves not only as a piece of artistic expression but also as a historical document, providing insight into the attitudes and events of its time.
