The galaxy presents as a somewhat elliptical, or cigar-shaped, object with a bright, concentrated central bulge. The galaxy exhibits a generally smooth appearance, with little evidence of distinct spiral arms or strong irregularities in its structure, which could be due to its distance and thus a difficulty in resolving smaller details. The color profile suggests an older stellar population. The central bulge appears yellowish-orange. The galaxy's light fades towards the outer edges, indicating a decrease in stellar density. There is a slight hint of a disk, or an equatorial concentration of its light, but it is not particularly well defined. There are no obvious signs of interaction or ongoing major merger events. The overall morphology indicates a potentially massive galaxy with a relatively low rate of star formation.
