The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge that emits strongly in the yellow-red wavelengths, suggesting a population of older stars. The outer regions of the galaxy fade into a diffuse halo. The overall shape of the galaxy is somewhat elongated but not highly so, displaying an intermediate ellipticity. There is little evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes visible in the image. It shows no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances, with a largely undisturbed morphology.
