The galaxy presents as a luminous, elliptical object with a smooth, somewhat diffuse appearance. It exhibits a yellowish-orange hue concentrated towards the center, potentially indicating an older stellar population in the galactic bulge. Fainter, greenish-blue regions appear asymmetrically distributed, possibly suggesting areas of ongoing, though relatively low-level, star formation. The overall shape is elongated, with a slight distortion or irregularity visible, hinting at a possible past interaction or minor merger event. The galaxy's smooth texture suggests a lack of prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The light distribution is concentrated, with a gradual fading towards the edges of the galactic halo.
