The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure with a cigar-shaped morphology. There is a distinct color gradient from the central region outwards. The core exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. Towards the outer regions, there is a subtle shift towards bluer tones, hinting at the presence of younger stars or ongoing star formation, albeit at a low rate. No distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes are visible. The overall appearance is consistent with that of a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy viewed edge-on, experiencing only minor disturbances.
