This galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical system. The light distribution exhibits a central concentration, with a gradual decrease in luminosity toward the edges. It appears to have a slight elongation, suggesting a shape somewhere between a perfect circle and a cigar shape. There is a subtle color gradient visible, with the central regions displaying a yellow-orange hue and the outer regions appearing somewhat bluer. There are no distinct spiral arms, bars, or significant dust lanes visible. The galaxy appears undisturbed, with no obvious signs of recent mergers or major tidal interactions, although a minor disturbance cannot be entirely ruled out at this resolution. Based on the colors, and the lack of visible star forming regions, this galaxy has likely exhausted its supply of gas for star formation.
