This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. The light is centrally concentrated with a gradual decrease in intensity moving outward from the core. The shape is generally rounded, showing no significant disk-like structure or spiral arms. There is a slight elongation but it is not highly cigar shaped. The galaxy exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting a stellar population dominated by older, redder stars with relatively little ongoing star formation. There is no apparent evidence of any major disturbances or mergers, though there could be minor interactions occurring. Overall, this galaxy seems to be a quiescent, evolved system.
