The galaxy presents an elliptical morphology. Its light is concentrated toward the center. The core appears very bright. There is a smooth decrease in light intensity as one moves outwards from the core, with the outer regions of the galaxy fading gradually into the background sky. The overall color of the galaxy is slightly blueish, but this is more apparent in the outer regions. There is a slight indication that the object is cigar shaped. There are no obvious signs of spiral arms or a disk-like structure. No significant tidal features or distortions are immediately apparent, which suggests the galaxy is not undergoing any major merger events.
