The galaxy appears as a flattened elliptical, elongated with a cigar shape. Its overall color is yellowish-white, suggestive of an older stellar population. There is a smooth light distribution across the main body, with the light concentrated towards the center. It does not show prominent spiral arm features, which supports the smooth morphology. Faint blue tinges are visible at the extreme edges, which might point towards a small amount of star formation, though this is subtle. There are no signs of a major ongoing merger, but slight asymmetrical disturbances cannot be ruled out.
