The galaxy appears as a single, relatively smooth object. The overall form is elliptical, approaching circular, lacking a discernable disk structure or prominent spiral arms. The central bulge is not sharply defined, instead gradually blending outward into the galaxy's halo. There is minimal visible substructure, suggesting an evolved system which indicates most recent merger activity was at least intermediate between minor disturbance and major merger. It exhibits a slight color gradient with a mild redness, hinting towards a relatively quiescent system dominated by an older stellar population. There is a faint hint of bluer emission in one area, but it is subtle and might be indicative of small, more recent star formation. The smoothness suggests little or no ongoing active mergers.
