The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elliptical form, with a noticeable central bulge. Its overall color is predominantly yellow-orange, suggesting a population of older stars, potentially indicating a lower ongoing star formation rate. The galaxy's shape is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like appearance. There is no immediately apparent spiral structure or evidence of significant tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers, although subtle asymmetries might be present upon closer examination. The galaxy's light profile appears to gradually fade towards the outer edges, lacking sharp boundaries.
