"The Soldiers of Outina Marching to Cut their Enemies into Pieces" is a historical illustration by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, a French artist and member of the short-lived French colony of Fort Caroline in what is now Jacksonville, Florida. Created in the 16th century, this artwork is part of a series of watercolors that depict the life and customs of the indigenous Timucua people of northeastern Florida and southeastern Georgia, whom le Moyne encountered during his time in the New World.

Jacques le Moyne de Morgues (c. 1533–1588) was known for his detailed and ethnographically significant illustrations, which are among the earliest visual records of the indigenous peoples of North America by a European artist. His works are invaluable for the study of the Timucua and provide a rare glimpse into their culture, society, and interactions with European settlers before the significant impact of colonization.

The illustration in question, "The Soldiers of Outina Marching to Cut their Enemies into Pieces," captures a moment of conflict, illustrating the warfare practices of the Timucua as observed by le Moyne. The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and anthropological value, offering insights into the military tactics, weaponry, and armor of the Timucua warriors.

Le Moyne's illustrations were initially intended to accompany a promotional text for the French Huguenot settlement in Florida, but the colony was destroyed by the Spanish in 1565. After returning to Europe, le Moyne's works were published by Theodor de Bry in a series of engravings titled "Brevis narratio eorum quae in Florida Americae provincia Gallis acciderunt" (A Brief Narrative of Those Things Which Befell the French in Florida), which helped to disseminate images of the New World throughout Europe.

Today, the original watercolors by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues are held in various collections, including the British Museum. "The Soldiers of Outina Marching to Cut their Enemies into Pieces" remains a critical piece of visual documentation of the early contact between Europeans and Native American tribes, reflecting the complex dynamics of this historical period.
