The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped structure. There appears to be a noticeable central bulge that seems to dominate the galaxy's luminosity. The colors appear redder, suggesting an older stellar population, particularly in the bulge. The edges are not well-defined; its surface brightness gradually fades outwards. There is some evidence of a disk, but it is not very prominent. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively smooth. There does not seem to be any evidence of strong ongoing star formation. Its overall shape is consistent with an elliptical galaxy that is at a considerable distance.
