The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. Its overall shape is reminiscent of a cigar or ellipse, and it appears to be viewed at a significant inclination. The light distribution is centrally concentrated with a noticeable decline in intensity towards the outer edges. There is a subtle color gradient across the galaxy, with the central region exhibiting a slightly more yellow-orange hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. A faint, blueish tinge appears at the periphery, hinting at the presence of younger, hotter stars or regions of ongoing star formation, but this is not a dominant feature. There are no prominent spiral arms or dust lanes visible, and the overall morphology suggests a relatively evolved system, possibly an early-type spiral or lenticular galaxy. No signs of a major merger or significant tidal disturbances are immediately apparent, although subtle asymmetries might suggest minor interactions in its past.
