The galaxy presents as a relatively compact and smooth object. Its overall shape is somewhat elliptical, appearing mostly round with slight elongation. The light is concentrated in a central bulge, which exhibits a yellowish-white color, suggesting an older stellar population. Moving outward from the center, the light gradually fades into a more diffuse halo. There's a hint of a very faint, blueish disk component surrounding the central region. No distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are discernible. The overall impression is that of a galaxy undergoing relatively little current star formation activity.
