The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated elliptical galaxy. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge that transitions smoothly into the outer regions. The galaxy's color profile appears to be more yellow towards the center and gradually becomes bluer towards the edges, suggesting a stellar population gradient with older stars concentrated in the nucleus. The overall shape is cigar-like. There's no obvious evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, showing no strong signs of recent or ongoing major mergers. There is a slight indication of a minor disturbance or asymmetry. The outer halo regions appear diffuse and faint, extending further along the major axis.
