The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure with a smooth, featureless morphology. The light distribution appears centrally concentrated, with a gradual decline in intensity towards the outer edges. A slight color gradient is apparent, transitioning from a warmer, reddish hue in the central region to cooler, bluish tones towards the periphery. There's no readily discernible spiral structure or prominent dust lanes. The overall appearance suggests an evolved system, potentially an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on, though the slight color variations might indicate some ongoing, albeit subdued, star formation. The lack of any major tidal distortions or nearby companions in the immediate vicinity suggests it is relatively undisturbed, though minor disturbances cannot be ruled out. The galaxy exhibits a compact, high-surface-brightness core.
