The galaxy appears as a single, moderately compact object with a generally elliptical shape. There is a slight elongation, but overall it seems fairly round. A notable feature is the asymmetrical light distribution.  The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-white core region to a more reddish hue in one lobe. Given this redder lobe it is likely a dusty area of star formation. The bulk of the galaxy, however, appears to be composed of older stars.  The apparent structure suggests a possible ongoing or recent merger event, showing signs of tidal disturbances or interactions. The interaction may be responsible for the elevated star formation in the redder lobe, though the overall structure does not indicate a strong spiral morphology, pointing towards an older system.
