The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object with an overall elliptical morphology. The core exhibits a bright, yellowish-white glow that gradually diminishes in intensity outwards. The galaxy appears moderately elliptical, not perfectly spherical, exhibiting an aspect ratio suggesting it is neither a face-on spiral nor a completely edge-on disk galaxy. A hint of an outer disk or halo is suggested by a faint, somewhat bluer color surrounding the central bulge. No distinct spiral arms, dust lanes, or other prominent features are immediately apparent in this image. The structure appears relatively undisturbed, with only a possible minor asymmetry in the halo region. The overall color profile suggests a galaxy dominated by an older stellar population, with relatively little ongoing star formation.
