The galaxy appears as a cigar-shaped elliptical galaxy, likely of type E4 to E6. It exhibits a smooth, centrally concentrated luminosity profile, decreasing steadily from the core outwards, with no readily discernible spiral arm structure or dust lanes. The galaxy's color is generally yellow-orange, suggesting an older stellar population dominated by red giant stars. There is no evidence of any significant ongoing star formation activity in this image, supporting the interpretation of an elliptical morphology. The orientation is nearly edge-on, with the major axis aligned approximately along the vertical. The light is tightly condensed, with a sharp drop off in intensity from the core.
