The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elliptical structure. The light distribution appears centrally concentrated, exhibiting a bright core region which fades gradually outwards. Overall, there is a lack of well-defined spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. The overall color is somewhat redder than what you would see with a bluer, star-forming galaxy. A subtle color gradient might be present with the central region appearing more yellowish or golden, potentially indicating a higher concentration of older stellar populations. The galaxy shape is in between being perfectly round and being elongated.
