The galaxy presents as a single, relatively smooth object with a concentrated central bulge. The overall shape is elliptical or possibly a lenticular galaxy viewed at a slight angle, with a higher degree of radial symmetry than would be expected in a spiral galaxy. The color profile exhibits a gradient from a bright, yellowish-white core to a dimmer, more reddish-orange outer region. There is no obvious presence of spiral arms or prominent dust lanes, suggesting a lack of significant ongoing star formation, consistent with a relatively quiescent state. There is a slight indication of a tidal disturbance on one side of the galaxy, but it could also be due to image artifacts.
