The galaxy presents an overall elliptical morphology, elongated with a cigar-like shape. It appears relatively smooth in texture, with a high degree of central concentration of light. The core exhibits a yellowish hue, possibly indicating a population of older stars. Progressing outwards from the core, the color transitions to a slightly bluer tone within the galaxy's halo, which may indicate ongoing star formation or a younger stellar population. There is no apparent sign of spiral arm structures, bars, or significant dust lanes. There does not appear to be any major merging activity. The overall appearance suggests a galaxy with a substantial population of evolved stars, but with some star formation.
