The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a lenticular galaxy, seen at a significant distance. It presents a generally smooth, symmetrical structure with a centrally concentrated, bright core that gradually fades towards its outer edges. The shape appears more in-between elliptical and disk-shaped, possibly leaning towards an elliptical morphology. There may be a very subtle hint of a disk-like component, but this is not clear from the image. There is no strong evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The color profile shifts subtly from a more yellow core to redder outskirts. No clear signs of any recent or ongoing mergers or tidal disturbances are visible.
