"Oceanide" is a notable work by the Dutch-Indonesian artist Jan Toorop (1858–1928), a prominent figure in the Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements. Created in 1896, this piece is a quintessential example of Toorop's mature style, which is characterized by a synthesis of various influences including Symbolism, Pointillism, and the Javanese batik technique that reflects his Indonesian heritage.

The artwork depicts an ocean nymph or sea goddess, which is suggested by the title "Oceanide," derived from the Greek word "Oceanid," referring to the mythological nymphs who were the daughters of the Titan Oceanus. The figure is typically rendered with a sinuous form, embodying the fluidity and mystique of the sea. Toorop's use of swirling lines and intricate patterns creates a dynamic composition that captures the viewer's eye, drawing them into a deeper contemplation of the mythological and spiritual themes present in the work.

Toorop's "Oceanide" is often celebrated for its intricate line work and ethereal quality, which are hallmarks of the Art Nouveau style. The piece is also notable for its exploration of femininity and nature, themes that are recurrent in Toorop's oeuvre. As with many of Toorop's works, "Oceanide" reflects the artist's interest in the spiritual and the occult, which were common preoccupations among Symbolist artists of the late 19th century.

The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of the Symbolist movement within the Netherlands. It is also an important piece within Toorop's body of work, as it exemplifies his unique ability to blend Western artistic traditions with influences from his Indonesian background. "Oceanide" remains an important work for scholars studying the cross-cultural exchange in art and the development of modernist styles at the turn of the century.
