The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, centrally concentrated light profile. Its overall shape is elongated, more cigar shaped than circular, suggesting a degree of intrinsic ellipticity. The core is a bright yellow. Fainter and bluer light is visible along the edges, indicating possible recent star formation, although occurring at a low rate. There is no evidence of prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy's light distribution seems undisturbed, suggesting it has not undergone a recent major merger. A slight asymmetry in the outer regions hints at a possible minor interaction or past disturbance.
