The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure. It appears to have a high degree of central concentration, with light intensity decreasing gradually from the core outwards. The overall color is a yellowish-white, suggesting a population of older stars. There is also a subtle blue hue present, which may indicate the presence of some younger, hotter stars. There is a slight irregularity in the shape, which may be indicative of a past or ongoing minor merger event, but could also simply be due to internal dynamics. The galaxy is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like shape with no clear spiral arm structure evident.
