The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a lenticular galaxy viewed at an angle. It exhibits a largely smooth morphology. There is a brighter central region, likely indicating a higher concentration of stars and possibly a supermassive black hole at the galactic nucleus. The galaxy is somewhat elongated, exhibiting a cigar shape. The color gradient suggests an older stellar population, with reddish hues dominating the core region. Fainter, bluer colors appear in the surrounding area, perhaps from younger stars at a low star formation rate. There is no indication of spiral arms or significant tidal disturbances, suggesting it is not undergoing a major merger, though the very slight asymmetries might indicate a minor interaction in the past. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively quiescent system.
