The galaxy appears as a moderately bright, elliptical-shaped object. The light is concentrated towards the center, forming a bright, well-defined nucleus. There is a gradual decrease in luminosity extending outwards from the nucleus. The galaxy appears quite smooth with a subtle fading out towards the edges, indicating a lack of significant star formation in the outer regions. The galaxy is elongated, appearing cigar-shaped. There is no obvious spiral structure or indication of tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers. The color of the galaxy appears generally yellow-white, which is consistent with an older stellar population.
