This galaxy presents as a fairly compact object with a smooth, elliptical morphology. The core exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity, suggesting a higher density of stars and potentially an active galactic nucleus. There is a noticeable color gradient, with the central region appearing more yellow-white and the outer regions displaying a subtle shift towards a redder hue. This could indicate a central population of older stars, with some younger stars in the outer regions. The galaxy exhibits a slight elongation, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped rather than perfectly spherical. The outer edges of the galaxy fade gradually into the background, showing no sharp boundaries or distinct features such as spiral arms or dust lanes. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed and quiescent, with minimal signs of recent merger activity or significant star formation.
