The galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology, appearing elongated rather than spherically symmetric. The light distribution appears smooth and concentrated towards the center, suggesting a dominant bulge component. The color gradient shifts from a yellow-orange core towards a redder outer halo, indicating a possible difference in stellar populations, with older, redder stars dominating the outer regions. There is no clear evidence of spiral arm structure, but a slight asymmetry in the light distribution could indicate a minor tidal interaction or ongoing merger event. The galaxy's structure appears generally undisturbed, suggesting no major, recent mergers. The observed features support the categorization of this galaxy as an early-type elliptical, potentially a luminous red galaxy given its inferred absolute magnitude.
