The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure with a bright, concentrated central bulge.  The core exhibits a diffuse glow, suggesting a high density of stars or active galactic nucleus activity.  The overall color appears slightly redder, indicative of an older stellar population or significant dust obscuration.  The light distribution falls off gradually from the center, with no distinct spiral arm features or prominent star-forming regions visible.  There is a subtle elongation in the galaxy's shape, and a slight asymmetry in the outer halo.  There is no evidence of a major merger occurring, however, minor disturbances cannot be ruled out.
