The galaxy presents a distinctly elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. Its color profile is dominated by redder hues, suggesting a population of older stars and a relative lack of ongoing star formation. The galaxy appears relatively smooth and featureless, with no prominent spiral arms or dust lanes visible in this image. There may be a subtle, underlying disk structure, but this is difficult to ascertain. There is some minor evidence for the presence of tidal disturbances.
