The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elongated object. Its shape is reminiscent of a cigar or possibly an edge-on disk. The light distribution suggests a bulge-dominated system, with a centrally concentrated luminosity. There is some slight color variation across the galaxy, with a hint of bluer hues potentially indicating regions of recent star formation, although the overall color is redder, implying an older stellar population. There is no clear evidence of a spiral structure or prominent dust lanes. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no major signs of tidal interactions or ongoing mergers.
