The galaxy presents an overall elongated, cigar-like morphology. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, appearing as a concentrated bulge. The light is generally smooth. There is a faint suggestion of a disk. There appears to be some minor disturbance, perhaps a weak tidal interaction or a small, ongoing merger. The primary color gradient transitions from a reddish hue at the central bulge to a bluer color in the surrounding regions, suggestive of differing stellar populations or dust extinction.
