The galaxy presents as an elliptical or lenticular morphology with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. The central bulge appears prominent with an orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars and low ongoing star formation. The overall shape is elongated, nearly cigar-shaped, indicating a potential triaxial structure. There are subtle hints of a disk component, but no clear spiral arms or distinct dust lanes are visible. The galaxy exhibits a faint blueish halo around the orange center, indicative of a low-level population of younger, bluer stars, or possibly ionized gas. There is a close companion galaxy, which appears to be a smaller elliptical or irregular dwarf galaxy, and it's possible that the two are gravitationally interacting. The primary galaxy appears to be a quite massive galaxy, with a relatively low rate of star formation.
