The galaxy presents a relatively smooth, elliptical morphology. It appears concentrated, with a bright, yellowish core, suggesting a significant population of older stars. There's a subtle color gradient extending outwards from the core. The surrounding halo exhibits a bluer hue, possibly indicating the presence of younger stellar populations or ongoing, though subdued, star formation. The overall structure lacks any prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes. Faint irregularities are observed in the outer regions, hinting at minor gravitational disturbances or past interactions, but no major merger events are immediately apparent. The light distribution is generally round, with a slight deviation towards a cigar shape.
