The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure with a noticeable bulge. Its overall color appears to be dominated by yellow and red hues, suggesting a population of older stars. There is little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The light appears fairly uniform, with no strong knots of star formation apparent within the visible structure. The galaxy exhibits a somewhat elongated, cigar-like shape. No apparent signs of ongoing mergers or major disturbances.
