The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, showing a smooth, largely featureless profile. Its shape is generally round with a slight elongation, but not cigar-shaped. The galaxy exhibits a prominent central bulge, suggesting a high concentration of stars in the core. The color profile indicates an older stellar population, evidenced by the reddish-yellow hue dominant throughout the galaxy. There is little evidence of recent star formation, given the absence of strong blue colors typically associated with young, hot stars. No obvious signs of tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers are visible in this image. The lack of dust lanes or spiral arms further supports its classification as an elliptical galaxy.
