The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It exhibits a centrally concentrated bulge that is noticeably brighter and more yellow than its outer regions. The overall shape of the galaxy is slightly elongated, approaching a cigar-like form. There is little evidence of distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. The galaxy has a diffuse halo of light surrounding the central bulge, which gradually fades into the background sky. There may be some evidence of a minor tidal interaction or disturbance, as there appears to be an area that is less uniform when compared to the rest of the galaxy's halo. However, the galaxy's structure does not exhibit any major distortions indicative of an ongoing merger. The color suggests a population of older stars. The absence of distinct blue regions would imply minimal recent star formation.
