The galaxy presents as a somewhat smooth, centrally concentrated object. The overall shape appears to be more elliptical than spiral, with no obvious spiral arm structure visible. There is a subtle color gradient, transitioning from a yellowish-white core to a bluer outer region. The central region is quite compact and luminous. The outer edges of the galaxy appear diffuse, fading gradually into the background sky. There may be a very subtle hint of tidal disturbances, but if present they are very minor.
