The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. Its color profile is generally reddish-yellow. There is a subtle color gradient across the galaxy, with the central region appearing more yellow and the outer edges exhibiting a slightly redder hue. The galaxy appears largely smooth in texture, with no distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes visible. There are no obvious signs of a recent major merger or significant tidal disturbances. The overall impression is that of a relatively quiescent, evolved system.
