This print is based on an old photograph of a young woman harvesting cotton in the Batof Plain. Batof plain is situated in the Lower Galilee region of Palestine, midway between Tiberias and Haifa. Famous for its watermelons.

Rand added her touch to this photograph , that gave it a romantic nostalgic feeling. The scarf that the young is wearing has a special needle work trimming which was known to be used in the Galilee Area. This type of needle work is called Owya - الاوية.
