The galaxy presents as a fairly smooth, centrally concentrated object. It exhibits an elliptical morphology, appearing generally round with a slight tendency towards an in-between, non-cigar shape. There is a distinct central bulge that appears bright and yellow. No prominent disk or spiral arm features are discernible in this image. The galaxy lacks any obvious signs of major disturbances or ongoing merging events. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars, with a faint extended halo surrounding the central region.
