The galaxy presents as a smooth, elliptical object. Its core exhibits a concentrated, bright, yellowish-white luminosity, indicating a high density of stars, possibly older population II stars. The color of this galaxy appears to range from yellow at its center to a reddish-brown on its fringes. The main body of the galaxy is generally cigar-shaped, but appears to have a slight disk surrounding the bulge. There are no apparent signs of tidal streams or ongoing major mergers, suggesting it is a relatively undisturbed system.
