The galaxy appears to be a relatively bright, elongated or cigar-shaped system. It presents a smooth light distribution, though with subtle features suggestive of a disk-like structure viewed at a high inclination. A dominant central bulge or concentration of light is observed, with light fading towards the edges. There is a hint of some subtle color variations within the galaxy, with a more reddish hue concentrated in the central region and a slight bluer hue in the outer edges. The overall color suggests a galaxy in which star formation is still occurring, but perhaps at a reduced rate compared to younger blue galaxies. There is no strong evidence of major tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers, although subtle asymmetries could indicate minor gravitational interactions in its past, such as a recent small merger or a dwarf galaxy accretion event.
