The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical object, exhibiting a moderate degree of roundness. Its light is concentrated toward the center, with a fairly rapid falloff in surface brightness towards its edges. There is no discernible structure indicative of spiral arms or a prominent disk, though the galaxy isn't perfectly round. The color profile is relatively uniform across the galaxy, dominated by yellowish hues. It is likely composed primarily of older stellar populations, and possesses a considerable mass. The low star formation rate supports the older population theory.
