The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure. The light is concentrated towards the center, which shows a bright yellowish-white core. The light intensity fades outward from the center in a somewhat radial fashion. Some faint patchy areas exist near the periphery that display a reddish hue. The outer edges of the galaxy have a diffuse and undefined boundary, blending into the background sky. There appears to be little evidence of spiral arm structures. Overall the galaxy presents as a settled system dominated by older stellar populations.
