The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth object, generally elliptical in shape. The light distribution is centrally concentrated, with a gradual falloff in intensity towards the outer regions. There is a slight elongation, but the galaxy is mostly rounded. There are no obvious spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes visible. A small fraction of minor disturbance may be present, but it is not obvious. The galaxy is a bluish-white color in the center, which quickly fades to a yellow hue further out.
