The galaxy presents as a fairly smooth, elliptical shape with an apparent high degree of rotational symmetry, though it is elongated on the plane of the sky. Its light profile appears centrally concentrated. It is primarily a yellowish-white hue, perhaps suggesting an older stellar population or a high degree of dust obscuration, or both. I observe no discernible spiral arm structures or other significant features such as prominent dust lanes or knots of star formation, suggesting a relative lack of ongoing star formation. There is some indication of minor disturbances in the outer isophotes, possibly indicative of a previous minor merger event or tidal interaction, though this requires further investigation to confirm.
