This galaxy exhibits a generally smooth morphology with a slightly elongated, cigar-shaped appearance. Its light distribution is concentrated towards the center, suggesting the presence of a substantial bulge component. There's a noticeable color gradient, with the central region appearing more yellowish-orange, possibly indicating an older stellar population. Fainter, bluer regions are present in the outer parts of the galaxy. There is no apparent dust lane obscuring the light from the bulge. The galaxy does not show any obvious signs of recent or ongoing major merger activity. Some very slight irregularities may exist in the outer disk region, but these are subtle and could also be attributed to image noise or artifacts.
