The galaxy presents as a generally smooth object, elliptical in shape, with a high degree of central concentration. The core appears bright yellow. There is a subtle color gradient transitioning from the yellowish core to a greenish-blue outer halo. No distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are visible. There may be a very minor disturbance in the form of slight asymmetry. The majority of its light is concentrated in its center with only a small amount of light in the extended halo.
