The galaxy appears as a flattened, elliptical structure with a defined major axis. It is characterized by a relatively smooth morphology, showing minimal signs of strong spiral arm structures or significant irregular features. The central region appears slightly brighter and more concentrated than the outer regions. Subtle color variations are observed across the galaxy, suggesting varying stellar populations or dust content. It seems to be undergoing minor disturbances from a potential small merger, but the extent of this disturbance is not particularly significant. The shape is notably elongated, leaning towards a cigar-like appearance. The object lacks the typical features of a grand-design spiral galaxy, but instead appears to be a galaxy in transition from a disky spiral to a smoother, more elliptical system. Overall, this galaxy presents characteristics consistent with an intermediate stage in galactic evolution, exhibiting properties between a pure elliptical and a spiral type.
