This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It presents as a centrally concentrated, nearly circular, and somewhat diffuse luminous object. There are no obvious spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes visible. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars, with the central region being slightly brighter and bluer, potentially indicating some ongoing, albeit low-level, star formation. The outer regions of the galaxy are less defined and gradually fade into the background, suggesting a lack of significant recent star formation activity in the outer halo. There is no clear indication of any major ongoing mergers or tidal disturbances in this image, though there may be minor disturbances.
