"An East Indiaman Undergoing a Refit" is a painting by the British artist Samuel Phillips Jackson (1830–1904), known for his marine and landscape paintings. The work depicts a scene from the heyday of the British East India Company, showing one of its ships, referred to as an East Indiaman, in a dry dock undergoing repairs and refurbishment. These ships were the workhorses of maritime trade between Britain and the Indian subcontinent, as well as other parts of Asia, during the 17th and 18th centuries, playing a crucial role in the history of British colonialism and commerce.

Jackson's painting is significant for its historical representation of maritime commerce and the maintenance of the ships that facilitated it. The East Indiamen were large, multi-decked vessels capable of carrying both passengers and goods, and their maintenance was essential for the long and often perilous voyages they undertook. In the painting, Jackson captures the scale and complexity of the refit process, likely taking place in one of the many dockyards that were an integral part of Britain's naval infrastructure.

The artist's attention to detail in the rigging, hull, and activities of the workers reflects his deep understanding of maritime subjects, which he gained through personal experience and observation. Jackson's work often conveyed the atmosphere and conditions of the maritime environment with a high degree of realism, and "An East Indiaman Undergoing a Refit" is no exception. The painting would have resonated with contemporary audiences familiar with the significance of the East India Company and its ships, and it continues to serve as a historical document of the period.

As a piece of art, the painting also reflects the technical skill and aesthetic sensibilities of Samuel Jackson, who was a member of the Royal West of England Academy and exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. His work is part of the broader tradition of British marine painting, which includes artists such as J.M.W. Turner and Charles Brooking. "An East Indiaman Undergoing a Refit" stands as a testament to Jackson's contribution to this genre and offers insight into the maritime history that shaped Britain's economic and imperial past.
