Sculptures of the subject are comparable to the paintings in some respects. In Johann Eduard Müller's marble statue of "Prometheus and the Oceanides" (1868–79), the nymphs scramble upwards in an attempt to alleviate the Titan's suffering,<ref>[https://www.akg-images.co.uk/archive/Prometheus-and-the-Oceanides-2UMDHUWCXFBG.html AKG Images]</ref> as they do in Lehmann's canvas. The smaller-scale ''Océanides'' (1905) of [[Auguste Rodin]] cluster like waves breaking at the base of a rock, their "supple feminine forms emerging from rough marble".<ref>Germain Bazin, ''A Concise History of World Sculpture'', David & Charles, 1981, [https://books.google.com/books?id=nQpPAAAAYAAJ&q=Rodin+Oceanides p.279]</ref> A larger scale version of the sculpture was finally cast in bronze in 1925 and is in Philadelphia's [[Rodin Museum]].

The fountain at [[York House, Twickenham]] concentrates on a purely marine theme and is of much wider extent. This gave the turn of the century sculptor, Oscar Spalmach (1864–1917), the opportunity to drape his white marble Oceanids about the rocks of the cascade in a variety of painterly poses.<ref>"The York House Cascade, or The Oceanides — a little-known masterpiece", [https://victorianweb.org/sculpture/spalmach/2.html Victorian Web]</ref> [[Henri Laurens]] created a bronze ''Océanide'' in 1933 which was equally suited for outdoor display. Largely abstract in conception, the sea connection is suggested by the shell-like wave shape that upholds one of her legs.<ref>[https://middelheimmuseum.be/en/page/henri-laurens-france Middelheim Museum]</ref> Several copies of the sculpture exist, displayed in the [[Middelheim Open Air Sculpture Museum]] outside Antwerp, the German [[Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe]] and the [[Centre Pompidou]] in Paris. And in Australia Helen Leete went on to create an equally abstracted group of "Oceanides" in 1997 to mount on the seaside rocks off [[Manly, New South Wales]].<ref>[https://izi.travel/it/1ea2-oceanides-by-helen-leete/en Izi Travel]</ref>
