The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical object. The light distribution appears concentrated towards the center, with a gradual decrease in intensity towards the edges. The shape is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like morphology, suggesting it is not perfectly round, but rather somewhat flattened. The color is generally yellowish-white, possibly indicating an older stellar population with fewer young, blue stars and a higher proportion of redder stars. There are no distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes visible. The overall appearance suggests a system that is largely evolved, with relatively low levels of current star formation. There are indications of a possible minor disturbance or interaction in the form of light asymmetry, but it is not a strong merger event.
