The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object with a generally elliptical morphology. The core region exhibits a brighter, yellowish hue, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter, more diffuse extensions of bluer light surround the central bulge. No distinct spiral arms or bar structure are readily apparent. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major merger activity, although there may be some minor disturbances present in its outer regions. Its color suggests some ongoing star formation within the galaxy. The overall impression is that of a massive galaxy with a substantial population of both young and aging stars.
