The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated system. Its overall shape is elliptical, tending towards being in between round and cigar-shaped. There is a bright, yellowish core which gradually fades into a less concentrated, fainter outer region. The light distribution is smooth, with no obvious spiral arm structures or dust lanes visible. There is a slight blueish color to the outer fringes of the galaxy. Based on the smoothness and color profile, it appears to be a galaxy with a population of older stars, although some star formation may be present. There is no apparent indication of any major ongoing merger activity or significant tidal disturbances.
