The galaxy presents as a roughly elliptical shape with a smooth, largely featureless appearance. Its color profile is generally redder or yellower than the background sky, indicating a population of older stars. There is a slight elongation to its form, but it is generally fairly round and not particularly disk-like. There is no apparent evidence of spiral arm structures, a bar, or a prominent central bulge. The galaxy's light is relatively concentrated, suggesting a fairly evolved system. Signs of recent major merger events are minimal; some hints of minor disturbances may exist, but the system appears largely relaxed and undisturbed.
