This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure. The light is concentrated towards the center, exhibiting a bright, yellowish core that suggests an older stellar population. Extending outward from the core, there is a diffuse, bluish halo which indicates the presence of some younger, hotter stars. The overall shape is elongated, appearing more like a flattened spheroid than a perfect sphere. Faint indications of some minor disturbances are present on one side. These are visible as small areas of color and distortion, though overall there is no major indication of an ongoing merger.
