The galaxy appears as a somewhat flattened spheroid, exhibiting a relatively smooth light distribution. A bright, concentrated central bulge dominates the overall luminosity, gradually decreasing outwards. The color profile suggests an older stellar population in the core, indicated by the yellowish hue. Moving outward from the center the colors become a bit more blue, suggesting that star formation may be higher on the outside of the galaxy. No distinct spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes are visible in this observation. The galaxy's ellipticity is apparent, with a clear major axis.
