The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a relatively smooth appearance. The core exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, primarily yellow-white in color, suggesting a population of older stars. The galaxy appears to lack prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes. There is a subtle color gradient, with the central region being more yellow-white, transitioning to a slightly bluer hue towards the outer edges. This could indicate ongoing, but low level, star formation activity in the galaxy's outskirts. The ellipticity suggests a possible classification as an elliptical galaxy, though the presence of a faint disk component cannot be entirely ruled out based on this image alone. There's no obvious evidence of major mergers or tidal disturbances.
