The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elliptical object with a relatively smooth overall appearance. It exhibits a slightly elongated, cigar-like shape. The central region displays a higher surface brightness, indicating a concentration of stars toward the galactic nucleus. The color profile appears fairly uniform across the galaxy, with a dominant bluish hue. There is no distinct spiral arm structure or dust lane visible, suggesting that this is an older galaxy. Small disturbances hint at possible minor past interactions with another galaxy.
