The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elliptical structure. Its core is a bright, concentrated yellowish-white, with luminosity decreasing radially outwards. The overall shape is more "in-between" than circular, exhibiting a subtle elongation but not strongly cigar-shaped. There are some indications of minor disturbances within the galaxy's structure, though no major merging events or tidal features are readily apparent. The galaxy is relatively compact. There is some evidence of ongoing star formation, but is not dominated by it.
