The galaxy appears as a moderately bright, elliptical-shaped structure with a smooth, diffuse profile. The core region exhibits a significantly higher luminosity, suggesting a concentration of stellar populations or potentially an active galactic nucleus. The overall color of the galaxy leans toward a slightly redder hue, especially in the outer regions, possibly indicating an older stellar population dominating the light output, with some areas showing hints of bluer light, possibly indicating pockets of younger stars. There's a subtle suggestion of a flattened disk-like structure viewed nearly edge-on, but the smoothness and lack of distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes support its classification as an elliptical galaxy. There are no obvious signs of recent major mergers or tidal disturbances. Overall, this galaxy presents a picture of a relatively quiescent, evolved system.
