The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, elliptical form. Its core is intensely bright, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. Progressing outwards from the core, the galaxy exhibits a smoother, more diffuse profile. The isophotes transition to a reddish-pinkish color, particularly towards the outer edges. This change in color could indicate the presence of evolved stars or dust absorption. The galaxy's overall shape appears cigar-like, lacking any visible spiral arm structures or significant morphological disturbances. There is no clear evidence of ongoing major merging activity, although slight irregularities in the outer edges might indicate a minor interaction in the galaxy's past.
