The galaxy presents a largely smooth morphology, indicative of an elliptical galaxy. The core appears bright and concentrated with a yellow-red hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The light becomes bluer toward the outskirts of the galaxy, indicating the presence of some younger, hotter stars, although these are relatively sparse. It shows little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The shape appears slightly elongated, deviating from a perfect circle, but not exhibiting a pronounced cigar-like morphology. There is little evidence of ongoing major merger activity, though the galaxy is slightly disturbed.
