The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, concentrated object, likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy. Its light is most intense in the center, which graduates outwards. The color of the central bulge appears to be yellowish orange, which would suggest a relatively older stellar population. The outer regions exhibit a subtle decrease in surface brightness, fading into the surrounding background. There is some very slight evidence of disturbances. I would classify it as probably not currently merging. The shape appears generally round. There are no obvious spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes visible in this image. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a mature system, potentially with little ongoing star formation.
