The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its overall shape is elliptical, closely approaching circular symmetry. The color profile is somewhat subdued, with a subtle gradient from a slightly brighter, whiter core to a fainter, redder outer region. There is very little evidence of spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. The morphology suggests a well-mixed stellar population. There may be some very faint, diffuse emission extending beyond the main body of the galaxy. There are no obvious signs of tidal disturbances or recent major mergers.
