The galaxy appears as a somewhat flattened, elliptical structure with a central bulge that is significantly brighter than the surrounding disk. The shape is not perfectly circular but shows some degree of elongation. There's a slight asymmetry in the outer regions, hinting at possible tidal interactions or a non-uniform distribution of stars within the halo. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, with the core appearing bluer and transitioning to redder hues in the outer regions. This is indicative of older stellar populations residing in the outskirts. Despite the prominent bulge, there's a subtle indication of a faint, diffuse disk surrounding it. Overall, the galaxy presents a morphology consistent with an early-type spiral or lenticular galaxy, potentially in the process of transitioning to a more elliptical form.
