The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, featureless elliptical with an elongated morphology. It exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a bright, centrally concentrated core that appears yellowish-white to fainter, bluer outer regions. There's no indication of prominent spiral arms, dust lanes, or active star formation regions visible in this image. The shape suggests a galaxy undergoing or having undergone significant merging activity in its past, with a stellar population dominated by older stars, as indicated by the overall color profile. There is a very slight apparent disturbance, but otherwise the galaxy presents as a well-formed elliptical.
