The galaxy presents as a relatively bright, centrally concentrated object with a smooth morphology. It appears elliptical, close to round but with a slight elongation. The core exhibits a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Surrounding the core, there is a more diffuse halo with a faint blue tint. A distinct yellow dust lane transects the galaxy, oriented roughly horizontally across the image, obscuring some of the light from the core. This dust lane suggests the presence of some recent or ongoing star formation, but the galaxy is largely quiescent. The overall appearance suggests a relatively massive galaxy with minimal signs of recent interactions, though some minor disturbance may be indicated by the presence of the dust lane.
