The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. The overall shape appears to be elliptical, exhibiting a high degree of sphericity, with the longest dimension being only negligibly greater than the shortest. The light distribution is dominated by a bright, yellowish core that fades gradually into the outer regions. The color suggests a population of older stars. There is a slight asymmetry in the outer halo. The general structure suggests a relatively quiescent state, lacking prominent spiral arms or strong evidence of recent major mergers. Faint extensions surround the main body.
