This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy with a noticeable red hue in its core region, possibly indicating an older stellar population. Its overall shape is somewhere between round and elongated. The outer regions exhibit a gradual decline in surface brightness, suggesting a diffuse halo. There's a slight hint of bluer light mixed in with the redder light within this halo region, potentially signifying some degree of ongoing or recent, though not particularly vigorous, star formation activity within this extended area. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are visible. There is no indication of any ongoing major merger events, though a minor disturbance cannot be completely ruled out.
