The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, appearing yellowish-white in color, indicative of an older stellar population. Moving outward from the center, the light appears to become more diffuse and bluer in hue. The overall shape is more akin to an ellipse, with the ratio of its semi-major to semi-minor axis near 0.5, but the isophotes are not perfectly smooth, there is evidence of some tidal interactions/minor asymmetry. The disk is relatively uniform in color. There is no evidence of any substantial spiral structure, or dust lanes within the galaxy itself. I see no signs of any ongoing major merger activity. Overall the galaxy has a very smooth appearance suggesting it is more evolved than a typical spiral galaxy.
