The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical structure. Its overall color is yellowish-orange, suggesting a population of older stars. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness than the outer regions, indicating a concentration of stars toward the galactic nucleus. The galaxy appears somewhat elongated, with a cigar-like shape, but generally smooth texture. There are no visible spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. It does not appear to be undergoing a major merger event, although there may be some minor disturbances in its structure. Overall, the galaxy presents the characteristics of an evolved system with relatively low ongoing star formation.
