The galaxy presents a smooth, elliptical morphology, with a pronounced cigar shape. It exhibits a relatively uniform, yellowish-orange color across its visible structure, suggesting an older stellar population dominated by evolved stars. There is no apparent spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes visible in this image. The galaxy's light profile is centrally concentrated and fades gradually towards the edges, with a relatively high degree of smoothness, showing no major signs of tidal disturbances or recent merger activity.
