The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical or lenticular structure. The central region displays a pronounced concentration of light, suggesting a prominent galactic nucleus. The light distribution becomes more diffuse towards the outer regions, with a gradual decline in brightness. There's a general lack of discernible spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes, pointing towards a morphology that is largely devoid of significant ongoing star formation. Color gradients indicate a population of older stars, particularly in the central bulge, with a redder hue compared to the slightly bluer, but still overall red-dominant, outer regions. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no strong visual evidence of recent major mergers or tidal interactions.
