The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its overall shape is elliptical, with a somewhat elongated, but not cigar-shaped, appearance. The light is distributed evenly across the galaxy. The core region is brighter and appears slightly reddish-yellow, possibly indicating an older stellar population. The outer regions exhibit a faint blue hue, possibly signaling recent star formation. No obvious spiral arms or strong dust lanes are visible, and there are no indications of a major ongoing merger or significant tidal disturbance. There are no apparent strong tidal tails or other evidence of strong gravitational interaction.
