The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure. It appears to be an elliptical galaxy, with a cigar-like shape and a noticeable concentration of light towards the center, suggesting a prominent galactic bulge. There is a color gradient, with the central region displaying a yellowish hue. This may indicate an older stellar population. Fainter, bluish light is visible towards the outer regions, possibly indicative of younger stars, though the color is subdued. There is no strong evidence of spiral arms or significant star formation, and there are no obvious signs of any major merger events or tidal disturbances.
