The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology, suggesting it may be an elliptical galaxy viewed from the side, or a spiral galaxy with a significant bulge and a high inclination. The central region exhibits a high concentration of light, appearing yellowish-white, indicative of an older stellar population and/or dust obscuration. Progressing outwards from the core, the galaxy subtly transitions in color, with the lower portion appearing more orange-reddish and the upper portion showing hints of bluer hues. This implies the presence of some younger stars, particularly at the edges, or possible differential dust extinction. There's no readily apparent distinct spiral structure, but the slight colour variations could indicate faint or tightly wound arms. There is no obvious evidence of significant recent or ongoing merging activity or major disturbances in the overall structure of the galaxy.
