The galaxy presents as a relatively compact object with a smooth, concentrated light profile. Its shape appears elliptical, exhibiting a subtle elongation, somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. There is a noticeable color gradient, transitioning from a slightly bluer hue in the central regions to redder tones in the outer parts of the halo, suggestive of an older stellar population dominating the outskirts. There is no clear evidence of spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes. The galaxy doesn't appear to be undergoing a major merger or significant tidal disruption, however, it is difficult to rule out minor interactions with smaller companion galaxies based on this image alone. Overall, the galaxy exhibits characteristics consistent with an early-type galaxy, possibly an elliptical or lenticular type, with a relatively quiescent star formation history.
