The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, elliptical system. Its overall shape is elongated, appearing somewhat cigar-shaped rather than perfectly spherical. The light distribution is smooth and centrally concentrated, with the brightest region residing in a yellowish core. There is a noticeable color gradient, with the central region appearing yellower than the outer halo. Subtle hints of bluer colors are present in the outer regions of the galaxy, though they do not appear to organize into well-defined spiral arms or distinct star-forming regions. The galaxy does not show strong evidence of tidal disturbances or major mergers. The image suggests the galaxy is likely composed primarily of older stellar populations, with relatively low levels of on-going star formation.
