The galaxy presents as a smooth, elliptical morphology. Its overall shape is moderately elongated, appearing somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. The light profile suggests a high degree of central concentration, with the majority of the light emanating from a bright core. There is a relatively smooth gradient of light intensity decreasing from the center outwards, with no obvious spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. The galaxy is composed of a yellow-orange hue in its core, with the surrounding halo exhibiting a slightly bluer, but still relatively red-dominated, color. There is no evidence of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances. The overall impression is that of a fairly evolved system, with a substantial population of older stars.
