The galaxy presents as a primarily smooth, elliptical-like structure with a centrally concentrated bulge. The overall color is yellowish-orange, suggesting an older stellar population with fewer young, hot stars and a relatively low rate of on-going star formation. There is a slight elongation to the galaxy's shape; it appears neither perfectly spherical nor highly flattened. No distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are visible. There may be some minor interaction or disturbance present as hinted by slight irregularities in the outer regions, but it is not displaying a strong merging signature. The galaxy has a considerable mass indicated by its absolute magnitude. The size appears moderate, consistent with an average-sized galaxy at its distance.
