This galaxy exhibits a largely smooth, elliptical morphology. The central bulge is prominent and appears nearly spherical, with a concentrated luminosity. The color gradient suggests that the core is significantly older and redder than its outer regions. There is little evidence of spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. The galaxy is quite compact and appears to lack active star formation. There is some subtle disk component visually, but the features are diffuse. There are hints of minor tidal disturbances or interactions in the form of faint asymmetric extensions. The overall impression is of a massive, evolved system transitioning towards a passive state.
