The galaxy presents a generally smooth, elliptical morphology. The central region exhibits a significantly higher surface brightness, suggesting a concentrated nucleus. Moving outward from the core, the luminosity gradually decreases into a more diffuse halo. There's a slight asymmetry in the overall shape, with a subtle extension visible on one side of the galaxy, hinting at a possible tidal interaction or minor disturbance. The color gradient indicates a bluer core region, potentially indicative of ongoing star formation, transitioning to redder hues in the outer regions, which are typical of older stellar populations. No prominent dust lanes or spiral arm structures are discernible. The overall visual impression is that of a relatively evolved system.
