The galaxy presents as a roughly elliptical shape, with a smooth and relatively featureless appearance. Its central region exhibits a concentrated luminosity, suggesting the presence of a bulge. Moving outwards from the center, the light gradually diminishes, with the outermost regions fading into the background. There is a very subtle hint of bluer light in the outer edges of the galaxy, which would suggest some recent star formation, or perhaps a faint disk component. No prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes are discernible. The overall color is somewhat yellowish. There is no evidence of ongoing major mergers or significant tidal disturbances.
