The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth object. Its overall shape is elliptical with some elongation, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped rather than perfectly spherical. The central region shows high luminosity, decreasing gradually toward the outer regions. No distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are discernible. There are hints of what appear to be minor disturbances within the halo, but nothing on the scale of a merger. The primary color is orange-red, suggesting an older stellar population and a lack of significant ongoing star formation.
