The galaxy presents as an elongated structure, exhibiting a cigar-like shape. It displays an overall smooth appearance, with a concentration of light towards the center.

There is a distinct, bright, unresolved core region. This area shows a bluish-white color, suggesting the presence of a population of young, hot stars or a luminous active galactic nucleus.

Extending outward from this core, the galaxy exhibits a more diffuse distribution of light, displaying a yellowish-orange hue. This suggests a significant population of older stars and potentially dust.

There is no distinct spiral arm structure or well-defined disk readily apparent. There is a hint of what may be a minor tidal disturbance or perhaps an early stage merger event due to the irregular outer isophotes and asymmetric light distribution.
