The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. Its overall color is yellowish-orange, suggesting a dominant population of older stars. There is a bright, concentrated central bulge, which fades into a more diffuse halo. No distinct spiral arms or dust lanes are visible. The galaxy's shape is generally round. There appears to be a minor asymmetry to the galaxy on its right side, however, this is most likely a distortion due to its distance.
