The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical object. Its overall form is elongated, with a distinct cigar shape. There is a bright, concentrated central bulge that appears yellowish, perhaps indicative of an older stellar population. Fainter, diffuse light extends outwards from the central bulge, transitioning to a slightly bluer hue at the edges. No distinct spiral arm structures or signs of significant ongoing star formation are readily apparent. The galaxy appears largely undisturbed, without strong evidence of tidal interactions or recent mergers. There might be minor disturbances present on close inspection.
