The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elliptical object with a concentrated central bulge. There is a noticeable color gradient, with the core exhibiting a warmer, reddish-orange hue that transitions to cooler, bluish-white tones in the outer regions. The overall shape is neither perfectly spherical nor highly elongated, appearing somewhere in between. No distinct spiral arm structures or obvious signs of a major ongoing merger are apparent, though there may be minor asymmetries or disturbances in the outer regions.
