The galaxy presents as a cigar-shaped, smooth elliptical. The central region exhibits a concentrated, bright luminosity, diminishing towards the outer edges. The core color appears yellowish-white, indicative of an older stellar population. The outer regions show a subtle fading and a slight reddish tint suggesting the presence of dust or cooler stars. There is no apparent spiral structure, bar, or prominent dust lane visible. Overall, the galaxy seems to be a well-defined, relatively undisturbed system.
