The galaxy presents as a moderately luminous, oblate spheroid. Its color is generally yellowish-white, with a concentration of brighter, yellower light towards the center. The overall structure appears smooth and relatively featureless, lacking any prominent spiral arms or distinct dust lanes within the limits of the image resolution. There appears to be some very subtle bluer light at the fringes of the galaxy. The shape shows moderate ellipticity; it is not perfectly spherical, but also not highly elongated. There is no strong evidence for ongoing major mergers or tidal disturbances in this image.
