The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elliptical-like structure with a central bright bulge. The light is most concentrated towards the core, fading gradually outwards. There are some subtle irregularities, possibly indicative of a minor disturbance or interaction. These irregularities seem to be close to the galaxy. The overall color appears to be dominated by older stellar populations, suggesting it is a relatively evolved system with diminished star formation activity. The shape is somewhere in between round and cigar-shaped.
