The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-shaped structure. The core exhibits a concentrated, bright, yellowish-orange hue, indicating a population of older stars and potentially a significant amount of dust obscuration. The light gradually fades towards the edges of the galaxy, which are less defined and more diffuse, and appear slightly blue. The major axis is noticeably longer than the minor axis, suggesting a cigar-like shape. There are no distinct spiral arms or prominent star-forming regions visible. The overall appearance suggests a galaxy with a relatively low ongoing star formation rate and a substantial stellar mass. There's no strong evidence of a major ongoing merger, but there may be some minor disturbances visible in the outer regions.
