The galaxy presents a generally smooth and elliptical appearance, with a noticeable elongation along one axis. The central region exhibits a bright, concentrated core, suggesting a significant concentration of stars or a possible active galactic nucleus. The color gradient transitions from a yellowish-white core to a more reddish-orange hue in the outer regions. This color variation could indicate an older stellar population dominating the outer parts of the galaxy, while the inner regions may have a mix of stellar ages, with some ongoing star formation. There appears to be some degree of disturbance, possibly interaction, or gas and dust clouds. It's not a spiral, but definitely not purely elliptical, and the morphology suggests an intermediate classification. The presence of a distinct, compact redder region on the right side of the galaxy warrants further investigation; this could potentially be a companion galaxy undergoing a merger, or simply a region of intense star formation.
