The galaxy presents as an elongated, elliptical shape. Its central region is bright and concentrated, displaying a yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. The color becomes slightly redder towards the core. The outer regions exhibit a fainter, more diffuse light, with a slight disk-like structure, indicating the presence of more recent star formation. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively smooth with no obvious signs of ongoing major merging activity. The overall shape is reminiscent of a cigar, with a distinct axis. There appears to be minor disturbances in the disk.
