The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type, exhibiting a mostly featureless morphology. The light distribution is centrally concentrated, with a gradual decrease in surface brightness extending outwards. It has a generally rounded shape, with only a slight elongation. The dominant color is yellow, indicating an older stellar population with fewer hot, young stars. However, there are hints of bluer regions suggesting some, albeit low, levels of ongoing star formation. No distinct spiral arms or bars are apparent. There is some indication of minor disturbances within the galaxy, but no major merger events appear to be in progress. The overall impression is that of a massive and evolved system.
