The galaxy presents as an elliptical or lenticular type, with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. There's a noticeable elongation, indicating a cigar-like shape rather than a perfectly circular form. The color appears predominantly yellowish-orange, hinting at an older stellar population and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. There is no apparent dust lane or spiral arm structure visible. The galaxy doesn't exhibit any strong tidal features or distortions to suggest recent major merger activity, though there may be a minor disturbance in its shape. The overall impression is of a mature, relatively quiescent system.
