"Study for H.M.S. Erebus and Terror with Native Craft in New Zealand c. 1847" is a painting by the British marine artist John Wilson Carmichael (1799–1868). The artwork is significant for its historical context, as it depicts two notable ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, which were part of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to find the Northwest Passage. Carmichael, known for his detailed and atmospheric seascapes, captures the vessels in a moment of tranquility as they engage with local Maori watercraft off the coast of New Zealand.

The painting serves as a study, which in artistic terms, refers to a preliminary work that an artist creates to explore the composition, lighting, and color schemes before embarking on the final piece. This particular study is valuable for its portrayal of the Erebus and Terror before they embarked on their final voyage in 1845, from which they would not return. The ships are rendered with careful attention to their rigging and structure, set against a backdrop that reflects Carmichael's skill in depicting maritime scenes.

Carmichael's work often reflects the maritime activity of the 19th century, and this study is no exception. It provides a glimpse into the period's naval exploration and the interactions between European explorers and indigenous peoples. The presence of native craft in the painting highlights the cultural exchange that occurred during such expeditions, albeit from the perspective of a European artist.

As a historical document, "Study for H.M.S. Erebus and Terror with Native Craft in New Zealand c. 1847" offers insight into the prelude to one of the maritime world's most enduring mysteries—the disappearance of Franklin's expedition. It also stands as a testament to Carmichael's artistic legacy and his contribution to the genre of marine art during the golden age of sail.
