The galaxy appears as a somewhat diffuse object, generally elliptical in shape. Its light is brightest in the center and slowly fades outward. There is a gradient in color, where the core appears slightly yellower, and there is a subtle shift toward redder hues in the outer regions. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, displaying no obvious signs of ongoing major mergers or tidal disruptions, although a very faint, subtle distortion cannot be ruled out. Overall, the object appears to be a relatively evolved galaxy.
