The galaxy appears as a smooth, elliptical structure with a concentrated central bulge. It exhibits a noticeable color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish core to a bluer outer halo. The overall shape deviates slightly from perfectly round, showing a more elongated, cigar-like form. There is no apparent evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy seems relatively undisturbed, showing no signs of major mergers or tidal disruptions.
