This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution. The light becomes progressively fainter towards the outer regions. It is elongated in shape, with the major axis extending in a roughly southwest-northeast direction. There's a slight color gradient, the central region appearing more yellow, potentially indicating an older stellar population and minimal ongoing star formation. No distinct spiral arms or dust lanes are visible. The overall impression is that of a relatively quiescent, evolved galaxy.
