The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical structure with a subtle, cigar-like shape. The light distribution suggests a high degree of central concentration, with luminosity decreasing gradually towards the outer edges. The colour profile seems fairly homogenous across the galaxy, exhibiting a slightly bluer hue in the central region which could indicate the presence of a younger stellar population, although the overall colour suggests a generally older stellar population. There are no clear indications of spiral arms, dust lanes, or active star-forming regions, giving it a more quiescent appearance. Close inspection reveals no major tidal disturbances or indications of recent merger activity, although a very slight asymmetry or disturbance in the outer envelope is noted. The angular size of the galaxy on the image suggests it is a moderately sized galaxy.
