The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical system with an apparent axial ratio of approximately 0.85, suggesting a moderate degree of flattening. The galaxy exhibits a strong central bulge with a high surface brightness that gradually decreases outwards. The bulge appears to be old, based on the color of the center, and is surrounded by a larger envelope with a more diffuse luminosity profile. There is no apparent spiral structure nor are any prominent dust lanes visible in the image. Overall the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, lacking any obvious signs of ongoing major mergers or tidal interactions.
