This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. Its morphology is characterized by a centrally concentrated bulge, surrounded by a fainter, more diffuse halo. The galaxy exhibits a noticeable red color gradient from the center outwards, suggesting an older stellar population dominating the bulge, with potentially younger, bluer stars in the outer regions, or simply dust extinction gradients within the galaxy. The shape is elongated, with a relatively high degree of oblateness, though not resembling a spiral galaxy. There is little evidence of spiral arms or dust lanes. There appear to be no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger event, though there are some hints of minor tidal disturbances. Overall, the galaxy has a somewhat diffuse appearance, which may be due to its distance.
