The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth elliptical galaxy. It exhibits a bright, concentrated central bulge which decreases in luminosity away from the core. The shape is elongated; the ratio of the semi-minor to semi-major axis is approximately 0.7. There is some asymmetry in the isophotes, however no apparent indication of spiral arms or a disk is present. Faint, extended halo light exists beyond the main body of the galaxy, which indicates a redder color. There are no immediately visible signs of active star formation. The overall color of the galaxy appears reddish, suggestive of an older stellar population. There appear to be no significant tidal disturbances or signs of a recent merger event visible within the immediate vicinity of the galaxy.
