The galaxy appears as a slightly elongated, diffuse object with a smooth light distribution. The overall color is bluish-white, suggesting a population of relatively young, hot stars, although the smoothness indicates possible suppression of star formation. There is no strong evidence of spiral arm structure or a central bulge; it presents more of a lenticular or possibly even a dwarf elliptical appearance. The galaxy appears undisturbed, without any signs of recent mergers or tidal interactions. Its elongated shape is more cigar-shaped than rounded.
