The galaxy presents a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped morphology. It appears relatively smooth, with a concentration of light towards the center, suggesting a prominent bulge. There is a subtle color gradient; the central region exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, possibly indicative of an older stellar population, while the outer regions display a bluer tinge, which may suggest younger star formation. There is little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. No significant signs of ongoing major merger activity are visible, though there might be subtle disturbances in the outer regions, perhaps resulting from a minor interaction. Overall, the galaxy seems to be a relatively evolved system with a considerable stellar mass and a moderate rate of star formation.
