The galaxy presents as a moderately bright elliptical. It exhibits a smooth, concentrated central bulge that dominates the overall structure. Fainter, diffuse light extends outwards from the core, diminishing in intensity with radial distance. There's a slight elongation to the galaxy's shape and a noticeable color gradient from the center outwards. The central region appears more yellow/white, transitioning to a more reddish/brownish hue in the outer regions, potentially indicating an older stellar population towards the galaxy's periphery. There's no clear evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. The overall impression is of an evolved, relatively quiescent system.
