The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy with an elongated, cigar-like shape. There is a general lack of distinct spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes. The galaxy's color is predominantly yellow-orange, suggesting an older stellar population with fewer young, hot, blue stars. There's a subtle color gradient within the galaxy, with the central region possibly appearing slightly more yellow, suggesting a concentration of older stars in the core. No significant tidal features or signs of a major merger are clearly visible, though subtle distortions might be present. The overall morphology points toward a galaxy that has likely undergone significant evolution and is relatively quiescent in terms of ongoing star formation.
