The galaxy presents a distinct elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. Its light distribution is centrally concentrated, with a brighter, possibly spheroidal, core region transitioning smoothly into fainter extensions along its major axis. These extensions appear relatively featureless, lacking prominent spiral arm structures or distinct clumps of star formation. 

The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, with the central core displaying a yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. The outer regions of the galaxy show a bluer tint, hinting at the presence of younger, hotter stars, although the blue component is not dominant. The overall smoothness of the light profile suggests a relatively evolved system, possibly an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on. There is no indication of a major ongoing merger event, although subtle asymmetries in the outer regions cannot be entirely ruled out as potential signs of minor disturbances.
