The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical system. Its light is dominated by a central, luminous region indicating a high concentration of stars towards the core. The color is generally yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population with a lower rate of ongoing star formation, with the barest hint of a blue tinge in its outer reaches. There is no distinct spiral arm structure or prominent dust lane visible. The overall form is consistently round, with no significant signs of tidal disturbances or recent mergers, although some asymmetry cannot be ruled out based on this image alone. The galaxy is relatively compact.
