The galaxy presents a generally smooth, elliptical morphology. The central region exhibits a concentrated luminosity, appearing significantly brighter and more yellow-white in color compared to the outer regions. A distinct color gradient is observed, transitioning to a bluer hue in the less concentrated, outer regions of the galaxy. The overall shape is elongated, reminiscent of a cigar shape. There's no clear indication of spiral arms or significant dust lanes, though some subtle disturbances might be present. The galaxy appears to be relatively isolated, with no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger, though minor disturbances can't be ruled out.
