The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical or lenticular form. Its overall shape is elongated, but approaches roundness. The central region exhibits a high concentration of light, appearing bright and yellowish, indicating an older stellar population. Moving outward from the core, the light intensity decreases gradually into a fainter, diffuse halo. Faint blue colors near the edge of the galaxy hint at some star forming regions. There is no obvious evidence of spiral arms, bars, or significant dust lanes. It appears largely undisturbed.
