The galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology, appearing largely smooth and relatively featureless. There's a bright central bulge, exhibiting a concentrated luminosity that appears to be in the yellowish/white spectrum, suggesting an older stellar population. The galaxy's color gradually fades into a redder hue toward the outer edges, possibly indicating dust obscuration or a shift in the dominant stellar population to older, redder stars in the outskirts. There is the hint of some disturbance in the arms, but this is not highly pronounced. The overall shape leans toward round, with only the slightest deviation towards a cigar-like form.
