The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elongated structure with a smooth profile. Its color index suggests a population dominated by older stars, with a noticeable lack of significant blue star formation regions. The overall shape is somewhat cigar-like, displaying a gradual fading towards its edges with no prominent spiral arms or bar features visible. There is no obvious indication of major mergers or tidal disturbances in the immediate vicinity, although a very subtle asymmetry might be present, hinting at a possible minor interaction.
