The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its overall color is a moderate yellow, suggesting a stellar population that is neither extremely young nor extremely old. There is a hint of elongation, but the shape is generally elliptical and moderately round. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are discernible. The overall texture is quite smooth, lacking the clumpy appearance associated with ongoing major star formation. It exhibits minimal distortion and does not appear to be undergoing any significant merging activity with another galaxy. Any tidal features appear to be very faint or nonexistent.
