The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy. It presents as a fairly smooth, concentrated distribution of light, with a notable absence of distinct spiral arms or a clearly defined disk. The overall shape is approximately elliptical, tending towards the "in between" classification rather than perfectly round or cigar-shaped. There is no obvious sign of a tidal tail or distortions indicative of any on-going or recent major merger activity. 

The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, with a slightly bluer hue in its outer regions fading into redder hues towards the center. This could be due to an older stellar population being more dominant in the galactic core and younger stars inhabiting the fringes.
