The galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, appearing as a smooth, flattened spheroid. Its color is predominantly yellowish-orange, suggesting a stellar population that is generally older. The light is centrally concentrated, indicating a higher density of stars towards the galactic nucleus, with luminosity decreasing outwards. There is no discernible spiral arm structure or significant dust lane obscuration visible in this image, reinforcing its classification as an elliptical galaxy. A slight elongation in the horizontal direction indicates the galaxy is not perfectly spherical. There is no evidence of ongoing major merger activity or strong tidal disturbances, though the apparent elongation could suggest a past minor interaction.
