The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated object with a high degree of central concentration. The core region exhibits a bright, slightly reddish hue. This central bulge transitions into a bluer, fainter, and more diffuse halo or outer disk. There is no evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes, suggesting a relatively undisturbed morphology. The shape appears to be more cigar-shaped than circular. There are no obvious signs of recent major mergers or tidal interactions, although a very slight asymmetry might suggest a minor interaction in the past. Overall, the galaxy's appearance is consistent with an elliptical or lenticular type.
