The galaxy appears as a somewhat elongated, lenticular-like object. It exhibits a bright, concentrated central bulge that fades into a diffuse, extended halo. The luminosity decreases gradually from the core outwards. There is a subtle color gradient, with the central region appearing more yellow, possibly indicating an older stellar population and a lack of significant recent star formation. The outer regions of the galaxy possess a more subdued blue-ish white tint. The general appearance is quite smooth, with no prominent spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes visible. Overall, the galaxy seems to be undisturbed, showing no signs of recent merger events or tidal interactions. The apparent shape indicates that it is not a face-on galaxy, instead it is a galaxy tilted at a significant angle with respect to our line of sight.
