The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical structure. The light distribution is concentrated towards the center, displaying a bright core that diminishes in intensity outwards. The overall shape appears to be somewhat elongated, but not highly elongated, lying somewhere between circular and cigar-shaped. There is very little, if any, evidence of distinct features such as spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggesting a population of older stars. There are hints of reddish tones, particularly in the outer regions, possibly indicating a lack of recent star formation. The overall impression is of a mature, fairly quiescent galaxy.
