The galaxy appears as an elliptical morphology, elongated along its major axis. There's a smooth, centrally concentrated luminosity profile, brighter towards the core with a diffuse, extended halo. The color appears generally yellow/red, suggesting an older stellar population with relatively little ongoing star formation. There is a slight colour gradient between the central core and outer regions, with the core appearing slightly more red and the outer regions slightly more blue. The overall shape is somewhat cigar-like and shows no signs of disk structures or spiral arms. There are no obvious dust lanes or strong irregularities visible in this image, suggesting a relatively relaxed system without recent major merger events.
