The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. There is a bright, unresolved core that dominates the light profile. Surrounding this core is a more diffuse halo of light that extends outwards, displaying a gradual decline in brightness.  Subtle irregularities in the outer regions are visible, hinting at possible minor disturbances or interactions. The overall color is slightly redder than the core region, suggesting a difference in stellar populations, possibly indicative of older stars in the outer regions.  The galaxy has a roughly elliptical shape.
