This galaxy presents a distinctly elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. Its overall color appears to be on the redder side, with a particularly intense concentration of light in the central region. The luminosity gradually decreases outwards from the core along the major axis. Faint hints of a smoother, diffuse structure might be present surrounding the central bulge, though higher resolution imagery would be required to confirm the presence and nature of any disk-like components. There are no easily discernible spiral arms or signs of recent major merger events. Based on the image, it is possibly an elliptical galaxy seen from its side.
