The galaxy presents as a smooth, elongated object with a cigar-like shape. The central region appears brighter and more concentrated, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. The outer regions of the galaxy show a gradual decrease in luminosity and a transition towards bluer tones. This color gradient may indicate the presence of younger, hotter stars in the outer areas, although the overall smoothness of the object suggests it is a generally passive galaxy. There are no immediately apparent signs of strong spiral arms or significant dust lanes. Minor tidal disturbances cannot be ruled out due to the slightly irregular shape and potential minor interactions with nearby galaxies, but the dominant impression is one of a relatively undisturbed elliptical galaxy, likely at an intermediate redshift.
