The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth elliptical, exhibiting a centrally concentrated luminosity profile. Its shape is moderately elongated, though not markedly so. The primary color is a diffuse bluish-white, suggesting the presence of a population of relatively young, hot stars, albeit not in significant quantities. There is no strong evidence of spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes. The outskirts of the galaxy seem to fade gradually into the background sky, without any sharp truncation. No obvious signs of tidal disturbances or interactions with other galaxies are discernible in this image. The overall impression is of a galaxy transitioning away from blue star formation.
