The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. It exhibits a bright central bulge that fades into a less distinct halo. The overall color of the galaxy is somewhat blue, possibly indicating the presence of some younger stars and ongoing star formation, although the smoothness suggests this activity is not dominant. There are no clearly defined spiral arms or other obvious features such as dust lanes or tidal tails to suggest major interactions or mergers in recent history, but some minor disturbance cannot be ruled out. The shape is not perfectly spherical, tending towards a more elliptical morphology. The galaxy's light profile seems relatively concentrated towards the center.
