The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elongated structure with a high degree of axial ratio. The color profile shifts from a more luminous yellowish core, suggesting an older stellar population, to a slightly fainter, redder periphery. There's a subtle asymmetry to the galaxy's shape, possibly indicating a minor gravitational interaction or disturbance. No distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are discernible within the image resolution. Given its color and morphology, it appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or potentially a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on.
