The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy, possibly of type E3-E5. Its overall color is yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population with fewer young, hot stars and a relative abundance of evolved red giants. There is a brighter, concentrated central bulge which contributes significantly to the overall luminosity. No distinct spiral arm structures or dust lanes are visible, indicating a lack of significant ongoing star formation. The galaxy exhibits a slight elongation in its shape, but is largely spheroidal. There may be a faint, diffuse halo surrounding the central region but it is poorly defined within this image. There's no strong evidence of any major tidal interactions or recent mergers.
