The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy. It has a centrally concentrated, bright core which is relatively round. There is a slight elongation to the shape, but it is generally considered a circular shape. There are some slight disturbances visible in the outer regions, which could be evidence of a minor interaction or merger in its past. There is not much evidence of current star formation, and this is more consistent with an older, more evolved stellar population. The color is primarily reddish-yellow, indicating a population of older stars. No significant spiral arm structure or dust lanes are apparent.
