The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical structure. Its color appears predominantly yellow, suggesting an older stellar population with a lower rate of ongoing star formation. The galaxy is quite round. There are no visible signs of spiral arms or a prominent disk. There is no evidence of a major merger occurring; the light distribution is fairly symmetric and undisturbed. There may be a very minor, possibly tidal, distortion. The galaxy is of considerable mass and absolute magnitude.
