The galaxy presents as a smooth, elliptical form with a noticeable elongation, approximating a cigar shape. The central region exhibits a bright, concentrated core, suggesting a high stellar density or possibly an active galactic nucleus. The color profile shows a gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-white hue in the core to a redder tinge in the outer regions, indicative of an older stellar population predominating in the periphery. There is little indication of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes within the galaxy. A slight distortion or faint plume is observed on one side, potentially suggesting a minor interaction or disturbance. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively evolved system with limited ongoing star formation.
