The galaxy appears as a flattened, elliptical object with a cigar-like morphology. The light distribution is centrally concentrated, with a smooth, gradual decrease in intensity towards the outer edges. The galaxy exhibits a yellow-reddish hue overall, suggestive of an older stellar population with relatively little ongoing star formation. There is a faint, diffuse halo of light surrounding the main body, potentially indicating the presence of older, scattered stars. The galaxy shows no obvious spiral arm structure or dust lanes, further supporting the classification of an elliptical system. Its orientation presents a significant axis ratio, indicating it is viewed nearly edge-on.
