The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, elliptical-like structure with a concentrated central bulge that is noticeably brighter and yellower than the surrounding galactic halo. The overall shape appears somewhat elongated, deviating slightly from a perfect circular form, perhaps cigar-shaped. There's no evidence of spiral arms or a prominent disk. No significant tidal features or signs of ongoing or recent major merger events are apparent; any disturbances would appear to be minor. The color gradient suggests a relatively older stellar population concentrated in the core with a diminishing blue component towards the outer regions.
