This galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical object. It exhibits a bright central bulge, with a luminosity gradient decreasing gradually outward. The galaxy's color suggests a population of older stars, potentially with reduced star formation. There is a slight elongation to the galaxy's overall shape, but no obvious spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes are visible. There are no indications of tidal tails or distortions to suggest a recent major merger event, although minor disturbances cannot be ruled out. The overall impression is that of a relatively undisturbed, evolved galaxy.
