The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical shape with a high degree of central concentration. It appears elongated, cigar-shaped and featureless with a smooth profile, indicating a well-mixed stellar population. There is some faint suggestion of a disk. Its moderate apparent magnitude suggests a fairly luminous galaxy. The color gradient across the galaxy is subtle but evident, with a slightly bluer hue in the central region and a gradual shift toward redder tones in the outer halo, suggesting a younger stellar population in the core and older stars in the outer regions. No significant tidal features or signs of ongoing merger activity are visible.
