The galaxy presents as a somewhat smooth, elongated structure. It appears to be an early-type galaxy, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy, given the lack of discernible spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. The light distribution is centrally concentrated but fades gradually towards the outer edges. The color profile suggests a population of older stars, with a slightly redder hue overall. There is no obvious active galactic nucleus or bright star-forming regions visible in the image. There is a slight suggestion of a disk, but it could also be that we are seeing the body of the galaxy offset. There also appears to be a smaller companion galaxy nearby. There is no obvious sign of major tidal interactions or recent merger events.
