The galaxy presents as a fairly smooth, elliptical object. Its light is centrally concentrated, exhibiting a bright core that fades gradually into the surrounding halo. The overall color appears relatively uniform, trending towards the red end of the spectrum, with minimal evidence of distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. There is a slight elongation, but the form is generally quite round, with no visual indications of major ongoing mergers or significant tidal disturbances. A subtle color gradient is visible from the center outwards, the core being bluer than the surrounding galaxy.
