The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elongated structure. Its morphology appears largely smooth with a dominant spheroid shape. The core exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The outer regions fade to a more diffuse reddish color with a few areas appearing as if they have pockets of on-going star formation. The disk is tilted significantly relative to our line of sight, appearing almost edge-on, which contributes to the cigar-like appearance. There is no evidence of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances. The galaxy's overall form suggests a galaxy on the red sequence.
