The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution. It has a cigar-like shape with an apparent tilt relative to our line of sight. The central region is bright and appears to be dominated by older stellar populations, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue. The galaxy's light profile falls off gradually towards its outer edges with a flattened disk. Faint blue hues indicate the presence of some younger, star-forming regions, though they appear subdued relative to the overall redder light from the primary stellar population. There is no evidence of any spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. The overall structure suggests a galaxy that has undergone substantial merging activity in the past.
