This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It exhibits a somewhat cigar-like shape, appearing elongated along one axis. The central bulge is bright and concentrated, suggesting a large population of older stars. The outer regions show a gradual decrease in luminosity, fading into the background sky. There's a subtle color gradient, with the central bulge appearing slightly more yellow/red than the outer regions, which have a hint of blue. This may be indicative of ongoing, but low level, star formation. There is no obvious evidence of spiral arms or a disk-like structure; neither are there any clear signs of a recent major merger or tidal disturbances. Overall, the galaxy looks relatively undisturbed.
