The galaxy presents a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. It exhibits a generally smooth appearance, with minimal discernible spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. The light distribution is concentrated centrally, fading outwards in a gradual manner. The central region appears somewhat brighter and more concentrated than the outer regions. There is a distinct color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-orange hue in the core to a slightly bluer tint in the outer regions of the galaxy. This color gradient suggests that the central regions are dominated by an older stellar population while the outer regions have more young stars, hinting ongoing, but possibly low levels of star formation. It shows no signs of major mergers, but some slight asymmetry might suggest minor interaction.
