The galaxy appears as a luminous, elliptical object with a prominent central bulge. The overall color is reddish-gold, suggesting an older stellar population. The galaxy exhibits a generally smooth morphology, with a high degree of central concentration. It shows an elongated shape, more akin to a cigar than a disc, and a lack of obvious spiral arm structure. There is a suggestion of a possible minor disturbance visible in the lower-right area of the main galaxy, implying the presence of an interaction or recent merger, but the main portion appears undisturbed.
