This galaxy presents as a fairly smooth, centrally concentrated object, likely an elliptical galaxy. The main body exhibits a subtle elongation along one axis, giving it a slightly flattened appearance rather than a perfectly spherical shape. The color gradient appears smooth and transitions from a central yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population, to a fainter bluish periphery. This bluer color at the edge could be due to patches of younger stars or possibly faint, diffuse spiral arms that are not clearly resolved in this image. There may be an indication of minor tidal disruption or a faint companion galaxy interacting with the primary galaxy; a slightly brighter patch appears offset from the main body.
