The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure with an apparent cigar shape. A concentrated central bulge exhibits a bright, yellowish-white hue, suggesting a population of older stars. The outer regions, extending along the major axis, appear fainter and display a subtle gradient in color. The color shifts towards redder tones, possibly indicating dust or an aging stellar population. There is a faint hint of blue, which could suggest some star formation. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or major disturbances, implying the galaxy is relatively undisturbed.
