The galaxy presents as a roughly elliptical object with a high degree of central concentration. The light distribution is smooth, exhibiting a gradual falloff from the bright nucleus toward the outer regions. There is little evidence of spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. The galaxy's shape is somewhere between round and elongated. Close inspection does not indicate any signs of ongoing or recent major merger activity, such as tidal tails or strong distortions. The galaxy appears to be in a relatively quiescent state, with a moderate degree of star formation. The galaxy's color profile is fairly uniform, trending slightly redder towards the central bulge, which is consistent with an older stellar population.
