The galaxy presents as a single, relatively smooth object. Its overall shape is elliptical, although it deviates slightly from being perfectly circular. The central region exhibits a higher surface brightness, appearing bright yellow. Moving outward from the center, the color transitions to a duller, reddish hue, and the brightness gradually decreases. There is no distinct spiral arm structure or obvious dust lane. Faint irregularities are suggested, but these are not prominent enough to indicate significant tidal interactions or recent major merger events. The visual impression is of a fairly undisturbed and evolved system.
