The galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated spheroid, exhibiting a cigar-like shape. The central bulge is prominent, displaying a concentrated, bright yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population dominating this region. Surrounding the bulge is a fainter, more diffuse disk. A subtle color gradient is observed within the disk, transitioning from a yellowish-white near the bulge to a slightly redder tint further out. A bright, knotty, reddish region appears off-center within the disk, possibly indicating an area of active star formation or a concentration of dust. The overall structure appears relatively undisturbed, showing no strong evidence of ongoing major mergers, although minor disturbances or tidal features may be present at a low level. The galaxy appears to be relatively isolated within its immediate environment.
