The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated object. It appears to be an elliptical galaxy viewed at a high inclination angle, as it shows a distinct cigar shape. The central bulge is prominent and exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, indicating a population of older stars. The color suggests the presence of evolved stars within the bulge. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of recent major merger activity. There is a hint of a flattened disk surrounding the bulge. Faint blue tinges toward the outer regions suggest the presence of some younger stars, though the overall color indicates that the galaxy is dominated by an older stellar population.
