The galaxy presents as a somewhat elliptical structure. Its core is luminous and concentrated. There is a gradual fading in surface brightness from the core outwards towards the edges of the galaxy. The galaxy appears relatively smooth, without prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes visible in this image. There is a slight colour gradient, with the central regions appearing more yellowish-white and the outer regions having a slightly bluer hue. This suggests the presence of a relatively old stellar population in the bulge with more recent star formation in the surrounding disc. The outer halo appears extended and somewhat diffuse, with a fraction of it having some disturbances. This may be related to recent or ongoing merger activity.
