The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, elliptical object. Its overall shape is elongated, exhibiting a cigar-like appearance. The luminosity is concentrated towards the center, which displays a yellowish-white hue, suggesting a population of older stars. Moving outward from the core, the light becomes increasingly diffuse and takes on a faint bluish tint. This color gradient potentially indicates some ongoing, albeit limited, star formation in the outer regions. The smoothness of the light distribution reinforces the classification as an elliptical galaxy, with no evidence of spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. There is no readily apparent tidal disturbance to the galaxy.
