The galaxy presents as a fairly smooth, elliptical or lenticular structure. Its overall shape is elongated, though not extremely so. The light distribution is centrally concentrated with a bright core region that gradually fades into the outer regions.

There is a subtle color gradient, appearing slightly bluer at the edges and redder towards the center. There is no evidence of spiral arms or any obvious features indicative of ongoing star formation. The overall impression is of an evolved galaxy dominated by an older stellar population, residing a significant distance from us. There are no obvious signs of recent mergers or major tidal disturbances, however there seems to be a very slight asymmetry that may be indicative of a very minor tidal disturbance.
