Matthijs Harings (1593 in Leeuwarden – 1667 in Leeuwarden),[citation needed] was a Dutch Golden Age portrait painter.
According to Arnold Houbraken, he was a good portrait painter who caught the expressions of his subjects well.[1] According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History, his portraits are sometimes confused with works by Wybrand de Geest.[2]
