The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical structure, elongated along its major axis giving it a cigar-shaped appearance. Its color appears to be dominated by redder hues, suggesting an older stellar population. There is a subtle concentration of light towards the center, but no distinct nucleus is readily apparent. No spiral arm structures or dust lanes are visible, which supports the classification as an elliptical galaxy. There is minimal evidence of any ongoing major mergers or tidal disturbances in this image, though some minor irregularities in its outer edges cannot be ruled out, possibly indicative of past interaction. It appears to be a rather massive galaxy given its luminosity. Star formation activity appears to be low based on the red color.
