The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical system. The core is very bright and concentrated, with the luminosity decreasing outwards towards the edges. There is a slight elongation visible in the galaxy's overall shape, suggesting it is not perfectly spherical. The isophotes appear to be roughly elliptical as well. There is some slight color variation within the galaxy; the central bulge appears more yellowish, whereas the outer regions have a more subtle red component. There is no obvious evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes, based on the available visual data. There appears to be minimal star formation occurring.
