The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system with a concentrated central bulge. Its color suggests a population dominated by older stars, with a subtle reddish hue indicating lower levels of recent star formation. While there is a general lack of distinct spiral arms, the galaxy also does not appear perfectly spherical; it has a somewhat elongated shape, suggesting it falls somewhere between a perfectly round elliptical and a more flattened disk galaxy. There are no obvious signs of an ongoing major merger or significant tidal disturbances, though there is a slight asymmetry which suggests a minor interaction might have occurred in the past. Overall, the galaxy presents as a fairly evolved, massive system undergoing a period of relative quiescence in terms of star formation.
