The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, disk-shaped structure with a distinct central bulge. The galaxy's color appears generally reddish-yellow, with the central bulge appearing more intensely yellow. The disk shows some subtle variation in brightness and color. The galaxy's shape is not perfectly circular; it exhibits a slight elongation, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped. There are some slight disturbances within the disk indicating some minor disruption. The overall impression is of a galaxy that is neither a pure elliptical nor a grand-design spiral, but possibly an intermediate type with characteristics of both.
