The galaxy presents as an elliptical shape, elongated with a cigar-like appearance. It exhibits a centrally concentrated luminosity profile, brightest towards the core and gradually fading outwards. The core displays a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The outer regions show a slightly bluer color, potentially indicating the presence of younger, hotter stars, though the overall color is generally redder. There is no clear spiral arm structure visible. The galaxy appears relatively smooth and undisturbed, without any major signs of tidal interactions or recent mergers, though a slight asymmetry cannot be ruled out. No distinct dust lanes are readily apparent in this image.
