The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, elliptical structure with a smooth, diffuse appearance. The core region exhibits a concentrated luminosity, transitioning outward to a fainter halo. The overall shape suggests a slight elongation, but it is mostly rounded. There is minimal evidence of distinct spiral arms or strong dust lanes. Faint irregularities are present, possibly indicating minor gravitational disturbance but the primary structure appears relatively undisturbed. Color gradients show a reddening in the central bulge, which could be attributed to an older stellar population, with bluer hues visible in the outer regions, suggesting younger stars are present, although the overall star formation rate is low.
