"A cutter of the Dutch East India Company and two men-o-war with other shipping, a town on the horizon" is a maritime painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob van Strij. This work exemplifies the artist's skill in depicting seascapes and naval scenes, a genre that was highly popular in the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries, reflecting the country's maritime power and commercial prowess. The painting portrays a bustling scene with a cutter, a small single-masted sailing vessel used by the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC), accompanied by two men-of-war, which are warships built and equipped for battle.

The composition captures the essence of Dutch naval might and the importance of maritime trade to the Dutch Republic's economy. In the background, a coastal town can be seen on the horizon, suggesting the proximity of the ships to a port and highlighting the interconnectedness of sea and urban life. The painting is noted for its attention to detail, the realistic rendering of the ships and the sea, and the use of light to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.

Jacob van Strij (1756–1815) was a prominent painter from Dordrecht who specialized in landscapes, seascapes, and animal paintings. His work is characterized by a fine attention to detail and a mastery of light and shadow, which he used to great effect to convey the mood and movement of the scenes he depicted. "A cutter of the Dutch East India Company and two men-o-war with other shipping, a town on the horizon" is a testament to van Strij's artistic talents and contributes to our understanding of the Dutch maritime heritage.

This painting is an important piece of cultural history, offering insight into the Dutch Golden Age's visual culture and the significance of the VOC in global trade during its time. It remains a valuable artifact for both art historians and those interested in the history of navigation and trade.
