The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, elliptical-shaped object with a smooth, diffuse appearance. There's a clear central bulge that is brighter and more concentrated than the outer regions. The light distribution fades gradually from the center outwards. The color appears to be relatively uniform across the galaxy, with a slightly bluish tint that is more pronounced in the extended outer regions. This suggests a population of younger, hotter stars, potentially indicative of ongoing or recent star formation, although at a low rate. No distinct spiral arms or other detailed structures are visible; the galaxy appears rather homogenous in its overall structure. There is a slight elongation to its shape, a cigar-like appearance, indicating it is not perfectly spherical, but rather somewhat flattened. There is some evidence of minor disturbances to the overall structure, which could indicate a small merger event.
