The galaxy presents a somewhat smooth appearance, suggestive of an elliptical morphology or a lenticular disk galaxy observed at a significant inclination. The overall shape is elongated, approximating that of a cigar. A central bulge is visible, exhibiting a concentrated intensity of light that gradually fades toward the galaxy's periphery. The color gradient transitions from a warmer, yellowish hue in the central regions to cooler, slightly bluer tones at the edges, which might imply some ongoing but subdued star formation in the outer areas, although this requires spectroscopic confirmation. There is no visible evidence of strong spiral arm structures or a prominent dust lane. The general smoothness and color profile suggest an evolved stellar population dominates the luminosity. There is no obvious evidence of a major merger or significant tidal disturbance. Any minor irregularity of the light distribution would need deeper imaging.
