The galaxy presents as a smooth, centrally concentrated elliptical galaxy with a noticeable, gradual radial falloff in surface brightness. The core region exhibits a bright, yellowish hue, indicative of an older stellar population likely dominated by evolved red giant stars. There is little to no visible dust or spiral arm structure. The overall shape of the galaxy is somewhat elongated, deviating slightly from a perfect sphere; the shape of the galaxy is somewhere between round and cigar-shaped. There is no clear evidence of any major mergers or significant tidal disturbances; the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed and relaxed in morphology. Faint, diffuse emission extends outwards from the central bulge. The redshift indicates a moderate distance.
