The galaxy presents as a generally smooth and elliptical structure. It has a concentrated, bright central region which appears yellowish or golden, suggesting an older stellar population dominating the core. The light gradually fades outwards from the center into a more diffuse halo. There is a slight elongation visible, making it not perfectly spherical. No obvious spiral arms or dust lanes are apparent. The color suggests a relatively low rate of on-going star formation. There does not appear to be any major merger events occurring within the system and it appears largely undisturbed.
