The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It presents a centrally concentrated luminosity profile, with the core region appearing bright and reddish in color. The overall shape is elongated, falling between round and cigar-shaped. There is no obvious indication of spiral arm structure or strong dust lanes. Minor asymmetries or irregularities in the outer regions may be present, but the dominant impression is that of a well-defined, relaxed system. The galaxy is a red color, suggesting it is primarily comprised of older stars, with little ongoing star formation.
