This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical or lenticular type galaxy at a moderate redshift. The core is bright and concentrated with a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population with a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. The outer regions of the galaxy are less defined and exhibit a gradual fading into the background sky. There are some subtle color gradients, with a slight reddening towards the central regions. The overall shape seems mostly rounded. There appears to be no obvious presence of strong tidal features. There is no prominent dust lane or spiral structure evident. The image suggests a galaxy with a significant mass that is not currently undergoing any major merger events.
