The galaxy presents as a lenticular or edge-on spiral galaxy. The overall color is a warm yellow-white, possibly indicative of an older stellar population with fewer young, hot stars. There is a slight color gradient, with the central region appearing more yellow and the outer regions showing hints of blue, suggesting some ongoing star formation, albeit potentially at a low rate.

The galaxy appears relatively smooth in texture, lacking prominent spiral arms or distinct dust lanes. The elongation is significant, giving it a cigar-like appearance. No obvious signs of tidal interactions or major mergers are visible, though there might be some minor disturbances in the outer regions.
