The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, elliptical structure with a smooth, diffuse appearance. The core region exhibits a brighter, more concentrated luminosity, transitioning to a fainter, less defined halo. Color gradients are subtle, showing a shift towards redder hues in the central bulge and a bluer tint toward the outer edges. There is little evidence of distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. Overall the galaxy displays a quiescent morphology, suggesting low levels of recent star formation activity and a considerable stellar mass. The cigar shape indicates a relatively high degree of ellipticity. There is no visible evidence of a major ongoing merger, although some minor disturbances cannot be entirely ruled out.
