The galaxy presents a smooth, elliptical morphology with a high degree of central concentration. Its light is dominated by a centrally located bulge which contributes to its overall round appearance, appearing somewhat elongated with a cigar shape. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a slightly bluer hue towards the center to a redder hue in its outer regions, possibly indicating older stellar populations further from the galactic center. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are visible, suggesting a relative lack of ongoing, large-scale star formation. The galaxy appears undisturbed, without any signs of major mergers or tidal interactions. Overall, the image suggests a quiescent galaxy, likely a relatively massive elliptical system with low specific star formation rate.
