The galaxy appears as a moderately bright, elongated object. It exhibits a smooth, centrally concentrated light profile, suggesting an elliptical morphology or a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on. There is a discernible color gradient, with a reddish-orange hue dominating the central bulge, possibly indicating an older stellar population and/or dust obscuration. The outer regions of the galaxy show a slight bluer tint, hinting at the presence of younger, hotter stars. The overall structure appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal interactions, although subtle disturbances cannot be ruled out. The lack of distinct spiral arms or a prominent disk supports the classification as either an elliptical galaxy or an edge-on spiral with a dominant bulge.
