The galaxy appears as a single, relatively smooth object with a generally elliptical shape, though very nearly circular. The light is concentrated in the center, appearing to be brightest there, with brightness decreasing steadily towards the edges. There is a slight color gradient, shifting from a faint yellowish or golden hue at the core to a slightly bluer hue at the edge. No distinct spiral arms or bar features are visible. There is no indication of a major merger event. There might be a minor disturbance or perhaps the beginning stages of a merger. The galaxy is relatively small and compact.
