This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It exhibits a pronounced cigar shape, with the major axis significantly longer than the minor axis, suggesting a high degree of flattening. The light distribution is centrally concentrated, becoming fainter towards the edges. Color gradients appear minimal; however, the central region exhibits a slightly more reddish hue than the outer regions. There is no evidence of distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The overall morphology suggests the galaxy is an evolved system lacking significant ongoing star formation. No signs of major mergers or interactions are detected in this image.
