The galaxy presents as a flattened, elliptical form, with a cigar-like shape. It displays a smooth, centrally concentrated luminosity profile. The core region appears to be characterized by a yellowish-white hue, possibly indicative of an older stellar population. Moving outward from the center, the galactic disk exhibits a gradient towards a bluish color, which could signify the presence of younger stars and ongoing star formation, albeit at a subdued level. No clear evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes are apparent in this image. There is no obvious indication of any recent major merger events or strong tidal interactions, although there is a chance of some minor disturbances. The overall impression is that of a relatively quiescent galaxy with a predominantly smooth morphology.
