The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object, likely an elliptical galaxy viewed at an angle. Its overall shape is elongated, appearing cigar-shaped rather than perfectly round. The light profile suggests a gradual decline in brightness from the core outwards, indicating a lack of distinct spiral arms or prominent features like dust lanes. The galaxy exhibits a generally bluish hue, suggesting the presence of a population of relatively young, hot stars, although not very many. There may be very faint evidence of a slight disturbance or interaction, but it is largely undisturbed.
