The galaxy appears as a slightly elongated spheroid with a concentrated central bulge. The color gradient transitions from a bright, almost white core to a faint blueish outer halo, suggesting a population of older stars concentrated towards the center and some evidence of more recent, albeit subdued, star formation in the outer regions. There is no clear spiral structure or prominent dust lanes visible, implying it is likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy. The overall smooth texture indicates it is a relatively evolved system that has largely settled into a stable configuration. Subtle asymmetries in the outer halo hint at potential past interactions or minor disturbances, but no ongoing major merger activity is discernible in this image.
