The galaxy presents as a primarily smooth object, with an elliptical morphology. It has a bright, concentrated core with a more diffuse halo that fades gradually into the background. There is minimal evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. The galaxy appears slightly elongated, with a cigar shape. No significant tidal disturbances or merging companions are apparent; any potential interaction would be minor. The galaxy's color is generally yellowish-white, indicating an older stellar population, although slight variations in color suggest some ongoing, albeit low, star formation activity.
