The galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology, with a cigar-shaped appearance. The central region exhibits a high degree of smoothness and a concentrated distribution of light, suggesting a prominent bulge component. There is a noticeable color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-white hue in the core to a fainter, slightly bluer color in the outer regions, potentially indicating the presence of younger stellar populations or regions of ongoing star formation farther from the galactic center. A subtle extension of the galaxy is observed on one side, potentially suggestive of a minor tidal disturbance or a faint, extended disk component. No distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are discernible in this image.
