The galaxy presents a primarily smooth and elongated morphology, consistent with an elliptical galaxy. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge with a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population dominating the core. The color gradually fades to a bluer and less intense halo surrounding the central region. The shape is distinctly cigar-shaped, with a high axial ratio, possibly indicative of an E6-E7 classification on the Hubble sequence. There is no clear evidence of spiral arm structure, disk features, or prominent dust lanes. Subtle disturbances or tidal features are not apparent in this image, suggesting the system is relatively undisturbed, with a hint of interaction from a smaller galaxy on the left side of the core. The system's appearance is of an evolved galaxy lacking significant ongoing star formation.
