The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its overall shape is largely elliptical or spheroidal, with minimal discernible disk-like features. There's a bright, compact core that gradually diffuses outwards into a less luminous halo. Color gradients are subtle, exhibiting a slightly bluer hue in the central regions that fades to a redder or yellower tint toward the outer edges. No prominent spiral arms or dust lanes are visible. There are no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger or tidal disturbances. The overall impression is that of a mature, relatively quiescent system.
