The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical object. There is a distinct, brighter central bulge. The outer regions are less defined, fading into the background sky. The overall color appears yellowish, which might indicate an older stellar population and a lower rate of current star formation within the galaxy. The galaxy exhibits a somewhat elongated shape, appearing cigar-shaped when viewed from our vantage point. No obvious signs of spiral arms, prominent dust lanes, or major mergers are visible. There is a subtle hint of a faint disk surrounding the bulge. The shape is largely undisturbed, without significant tidal features or distortions.
