The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical structure, displaying a notable central bulge that transitions into a more diffuse outer region. It is elongated along one axis, presenting a cigar-like shape. The color distribution suggests a dominant older stellar population, particularly within the central bulge, where a slightly reddish hue is observed. A subtle color gradient is apparent, transitioning to a bluer color in the outer regions, which may indicate the presence of younger stars, although star formation appears to be limited. There is no strong evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. No signs of tidal disturbances or mergers are apparent in the image.
