The galaxy appears as a largely featureless, elliptical or lenticular object, displaying a smooth, highly concentrated light profile. The core is very bright, with the luminosity gradually diminishing outwards. The light is yellowish. There is no strong evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. It displays a well-defined shape, with no major disturbances or tidal features apparent, suggesting it is not undergoing a major merging event. The galaxy's apparent size is relatively small, indicative of a substantial distance. It appears as a relatively old stellar population with low ongoing star formation.
