The galaxy presents as a generally smooth object with a noticeable elongation. The overall shape is oblong, approaching that of a cigar. No distinct spiral arms or bar structure are readily apparent in this image. The galaxy exhibits a concentration of light towards the central region, suggesting a bulge. There is a subtle color gradient, with the central region appearing slightly redder than the outer regions, which are bluer in tone. This may indicate an older stellar population in the bulge and younger, hotter stars in the surrounding disk. There is no evidence of any ongoing major merging events or significant tidal distortions; it may be experiencing a minor disturbance. Overall, the galaxy presents characteristics consistent with an elliptical or lenticular galaxy viewed at an oblique angle.
