The galaxy presents as a smooth, elliptical-like structure. Its core exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity that appears yellow-white in color. The isophotes gradually decrease in intensity moving outwards from the center, transitioning to a more diffuse, reddish hue in the outer regions. There is a subtle elongation, giving it a cigar shape. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are discernible. There are signs of minor disturbances present. The lack of blue coloration suggests a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation.
