The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure, with a dominant central bulge. There is a slight elongation or cigar shape in the distribution of its light, though it is mostly round. It exhibits a yellowish-red hue, indicative of an older stellar population and low current star formation, and it seems to have significant mass. There's some visual suggestion of minor gravitational disturbance or merging activity, but no strong distortions.
