The galaxy presents as a primarily smooth and centrally concentrated object. Its overall shape is elliptical, though closer to round than cigar-shaped.  There is a bright core that fades gradually outward into a diffuse halo.  No distinct spiral arms or disk-like features are readily apparent.  There is a slight suggestion of a subtle disturbance on one side, potentially indicating a minor interaction or past merger event, but the overall symmetry is well maintained. The galaxy exhibits a pale yellowish color, which may suggest an older stellar population. The lack of discernible substructure within the halo reinforces the impression of a relatively evolved system.
