The galaxy presents as a somewhat featureless elliptical, with a generally smooth luminosity gradient increasing towards the center. The central region appears slightly elongated, deviating slightly from a perfect circular shape. The color profile is subtly complex, displaying a redder central core which fades to a bluer halo, possibly indicating a population of older stars concentrated centrally, surrounded by a region with ongoing star formation. There appears to be little or no visible dust obscuration or prominent spiral arm structure. Subtle irregularities in the outer halo might hint at minor tidal interactions or past merger events, although the primary visual impression is one of overall smoothness and a lack of significant disturbance.
