The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical or lenticular type. Its central bulge is distinctly brighter and more yellow-toned than its outer regions, suggesting a higher concentration of older stars in the core. The overall shape is somewhat elongated, but not strongly so, leaning more toward a spheroidal form than a flattened disk. There is a hint of a faint, diffuse halo extending beyond the main body of the galaxy. No prominent spiral arms or dust lanes are visible in this image, further supporting the smooth morphological classification. Any ongoing merger events are not apparent.
