"Handkerchief Point" is a notable watercolor painting by the American artist Maurice Brazil Prendergast, created around 1912. Prendergast, a prominent figure in the American Post-Impressionist movement, is celebrated for his vibrant and dynamic compositions that often depict leisurely scenes of urban parks, beaches, and other public spaces. "Handkerchief Point" exemplifies his distinctive style, characterized by a mosaic-like arrangement of color and form, which captures the essence of the scene with a sense of rhythm and harmony.

The painting portrays a lively beach scene, a common subject in Prendergast's oeuvre, reflecting his fascination with the social interactions and leisurely activities of the early 20th century. The title "Handkerchief Point" likely refers to a specific location or a colloquial name for a popular gathering spot, although the exact origin of the name remains unclear. The composition is filled with figures, both adults and children, engaged in various activities, from strolling along the shore to playing in the sand. Prendergast's use of watercolor allows for a fluid and luminous quality, enhancing the overall vibrancy of the scene.

Prendergast's technique in "Handkerchief Point" demonstrates his mastery of color and form. He employs a stippling method, applying small dots and dashes of color to build up the image, which creates a sense of movement and light. This approach, combined with his keen eye for detail and composition, results in a work that is both lively and cohesive. The painting's palette is dominated by bright, cheerful colors, reflecting the joyous atmosphere of the beach setting.

"Handkerchief Point" is a testament to Prendergast's ability to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life with a unique blend of realism and abstraction. It remains an important work within his body of work and a significant example of American Post-Impressionism. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and continues to be studied for its innovative use of color and composition.
