The image shows a botanical illustration of a plant with two red flowers and green leaves on a beige background. The plant has a long, thin stem with several branches. The stem and branches have thorns. There are two red flowers, one larger than the other, both with yellow centers. The flowers have five rounded petals each. The leaves are oval-shaped and have serrated edges. There are several leaves of varying sizes along the stem and branches. Some leaves are green with a reddish tint on the underside. The background is a light beige color with darker spots and discoloration. The text at the bottom of the image reads "Rosa Indica Stelligera" on the left and "Le Bengale Etoile" on the right in cursive.
