The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. The light is concentrated towards the center, which is very bright and yellowish. There is a gradual decrease in brightness moving outward from the center, fading into the background. The galaxy exhibits an elongated shape, more of an in-between elliptical galaxy than a very cigar shaped one. There is no apparent spiral structure, dust lanes, or other distinct features. The galaxy shows a minor disturbance. The dominant color is a warm yellow hue, suggesting an older stellar population with relatively low star formation activity.
