The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure with a concentrated central bulge that exhibits a yellowish-white hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The light smoothly diminishes outwards from the center. Faint blue-ish filaments or streams extend away from the main body of the galaxy and give the galaxy an irregular appearance. The overall shape is not perfectly spherical; there is a slight elongation. There is no evidence of prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes visible in this image. There is little evidence of current major mergers, but some morphological disturbances and an asymmetrical distribution of luminosity hint at a minor interaction or previous merger event. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively evolved system, with little current star formation occurring.
