The galaxy presents as a relatively bright, centrally concentrated elliptical or lenticular system. It has a smooth, somewhat diffuse appearance, lacking distinct spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. The shape is elongated, indicating it is not perfectly spherical. The color appears to be a bluish-white, suggesting the presence of a population of younger, hotter stars, although this may be in small concentrations. There are no obvious signs of strong tidal interactions or major merging events, though it is possible that minor disturbances are present that are difficult to resolve at this image quality. The light appears to smoothly transition from the brighter central bulge to the fainter outer regions of the galaxy.
