The galaxy appears as an elliptical structure, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated light distribution. The core region presents a bright, diffuse glow, suggesting a high density of stars. The overall shape deviates slightly from a perfect circle, showing an elongated, cigar-like form. There is little evidence of spiral arms or distinct dust lanes; rather, the light fades gradually from the center outwards, forming an extended halo. This suggests a well-mixed stellar population with little ongoing star formation. There appears to be some minor tidal disturbance. The color gradients are subtle, possibly indicating an older stellar population with lower rates of current star formation activity.
