The galaxy presents as a roughly elliptical or spheroidal structure with a relatively smooth overall appearance. There is a concentrated central bulge that appears yellow-white. The outer regions of the galaxy show a gradual decrease in luminosity moving away from the center. There is a hint of a disk-like component that is oriented close to face-on; however, distinct spiral arms are not visible. There is a single area of increased star formation. There does not seem to be any evidence of significant tidal disturbances or ongoing major mergers, although some small-scale irregularities or minor disturbances are present. The roundness of the structure indicates it is not an edge-on spiral and its color implies it has an older population of stars.
