The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object with a diffuse halo. Its overall color appears to be somewhat red, with a bright, yellowish central core. There is little visible evidence of spiral arms or other distinct features, though it is not perfectly spherical. Subtle disturbances may be visible in the outer regions of the galaxy, such as the very slight elongation to the right. The galaxy does not seem to be undergoing a major merger or strong tidal interaction.
