The galaxy appears as an elliptical or lenticular system, viewed at a slight angle. It is characterized by a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution, with a notable lack of defined spiral arms or dust lanes. The core of the galaxy exhibits a reddish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. A faint, diffuse halo of light surrounds the core, with a slightly bluer color, possibly indicating ongoing or recent star formation at the galactic periphery. Subtle irregularities in the outer regions suggest possible tidal interactions, though no clear merger events are immediately apparent. The overall morphology indicates a relatively evolved system, consistent with a galaxy that is in the process of or has already completed transitioning from a spiral to an elliptical form.
