The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy with a cigar-like shape. It exhibits a somewhat concentrated central bulge. The galaxy displays a color gradient, with a yellowish-orange hue indicating an older stellar population and low star formation rate. There is no evidence of spiral arms, dust lanes, or significant tidal disturbances, suggesting that it is a mature, isolated system. Its apparent angular size is small, indicative of its considerable distance.
