This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. It presents as mostly featureless, with a concentrated, bright core that gradually fades into a diffuse halo. The overall shape leans towards somewhat in between round and elongated, but is not strongly cigar-shaped. There is a subtle color gradient visible, transitioning from a slightly yellowish hue at the core to a bluer tint in the outer regions of the halo. This suggests the presence of a relatively old stellar population at the center, possibly with ongoing but reduced star formation in the periphery. The lack of any distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes supports the classification as an elliptical galaxy, although some minor disturbance cannot be ruled out.
