The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated, smooth object with a yellowish hue in the center, and a redder hue around the edge of the object. The galaxy's overall shape is elliptical, though not perfectly spherical, having some slight elongation. There is no obvious spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes, and the galaxy appears generally undisturbed. The smooth, featureless morphology suggests a stellar population that is dominated by older stars. The redder color around the edge suggests either an aging stellar population with fewer young, blue stars, or the presence of dust obscuring bluer light.
