The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elliptical structure with a high degree of central concentration of luminosity. The core region exhibits a bright, yellowish-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. This bright central bulge gradually fades into a less luminous, more diffuse halo, indicating a decline in stellar density with increasing radius. The major axis is oriented roughly horizontally in the image frame. The galaxy appears somewhat flattened, deviating from a perfect circular shape, with an ellipticity that is evident but not extreme. There is a suggestion of some tidal features or minor disturbances on the left-hand side of the galaxy, but these are subtle and could also be artifacts of image processing. No clear spiral arms or dust lanes are discernible in this image. The overall color is consistent with that of a galaxy dominated by older stars, indicative of a relatively quiescent star formation history.
