This galaxy appears to be a relatively luminous and massive system, likely an elliptical or lenticular galaxy seen at a moderate distance. Its morphology is generally smooth, with a slightly elongated shape indicative of a possible cigar-like structure. The light distribution suggests that the majority of the galaxy's stellar population is located within its central bulge region, which is a pale yellow. It has a few areas which may contain some faint indications of dust lanes or subtle features, but no obvious spiral arms or bars are visible. Given the colors and general lack of distinct features, star formation is likely relatively low. Possible evidence of a tidal interaction or minor disturbance can not be excluded.
