The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. Its overall color is yellowish-red. The concentration of light suggests a strong central bulge, and there is little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The galaxy exhibits a very high degree of symmetry, with an apparent lack of any major disturbances or mergers. There is faint extended emission surrounding the central region, which seems to indicate the presence of an extended stellar halo. The galaxy seems to be a mature system with an evolved stellar population.
