The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure with a concentrated, bright central bulge. It has a cigar-like shape. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, appearing more yellow/orange in the central region, suggesting an older stellar population, with the outer regions subtly bluer. I can discern no prominent spiral arms or dust lanes. There appears to be a very minor, nearby object that could be gravitationally interacting with the galaxy. However, the shape of the galaxy does not reflect an ongoing merger event.
