The galaxy appears as a moderately bright, elliptical-shaped object with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. There is a concentration of light towards the center, suggesting a prominent galactic nucleus or bulge. The overall color is a yellowish-orange hue, possibly indicating a population of older stars. The absence of distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes suggests a relatively evolved system. There are no obvious signs of active star formation, nor any signs of a major merger event. The galaxy's shape is closer to being in between round and cigar-shaped, with more of a tendency toward round. There might be a subtle asymmetry to the outer isophotes, but it is not definitive, and the galaxy appears mostly undisturbed.
