This galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical object with a concentrated central bulge. Its overall color is yellowish-orange, suggestive of an older stellar population, although some bluer hues are visible in the outer regions. The galaxy exhibits an extended halo or envelope that gradually fades into the background. No prominent spiral arms or significant dust lanes are discernible from this image. The galaxy's shape is closer to round than elongated, with no apparent major distortions indicative of recent or ongoing merger activity.
