The galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology. The light distribution appears relatively smooth and centrally concentrated, with a gradual decline in surface brightness towards the outer regions. It displays a color gradient, exhibiting a yellowish-orange hue in its central bulge region, suggestive of an older stellar population dominated by red giant stars. The outer regions show a slightly bluer tint, perhaps indicating the presence of some younger, bluer stars, though their contribution seems minor based on the color distribution. A faint extension is visible and appears somewhat asymmetric. The major axis of the galaxy is significantly longer than the minor axis, giving it a somewhat flattened appearance. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are discernible in this image. There is a subtle disturbance in the shape, although it is difficult to assess whether this is due to a minor interaction or is simply the result of image artifacts. Overall, this galaxy presents an intermediate to high-mass system exhibiting characteristics of an evolved stellar population with faint signs of potential past or ongoing interaction.
