The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure with a concentrated, bright central bulge. The overall color appears to be reddish-yellow, suggesting a population of older stars. There is little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes, lending to its smooth appearance. The galaxy appears somewhat rounded. There are some subtle indications of minor disturbances or asymmetries in the outer regions, although the dominant impression is one of relative quiescence. The apparent size suggests a moderately large galaxy.
