The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, elliptical object with a smooth overall morphology. Its light is centrally concentrated, with a bright nucleus diminishing gradually outward. The shape deviates slightly from perfect circularity, appearing somewhat elongated. The color profile is mostly consistent, though there are some faint irregular hints of bluer light on the periphery. Based on the smooth appearance and light profile it is likely a very early stage spiral galaxy or a very late stage spiral galaxy that has used up most of it's gas, and has thus ceased most star formation. There are no obvious signs of tidal disturbances or major mergers, although some slight asymmetry in the outer regions may indicate a minor interaction in the recent past.
