The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical object. Its core region exhibits a high degree of luminosity, which gradually diminishes towards the outer edges, forming a diffuse halo. There is a hint of distortion in its shape, deviating slightly from a perfect elliptical form. A faint blue-ish tint is visible in the outer edges of the galaxy, especially on its right side. This may be due to lower amounts of dust in these areas. The galaxy’s overall color suggests an older stellar population with a low ongoing star formation rate. No prominent dust lanes or spiral arm structures are discernible.
