The galaxy presents a largely smooth and elliptical morphology. It appears nearly circular in projection, with a high degree of central concentration. The light profile suggests a relatively homogenous stellar population, with the bulk of the light originating from an older population of stars. The color is generally yellow-red, with subtle color gradients. There is very little evidence of significant ongoing star formation. A faint halo extends outwards. There are no discernible spiral arm structures, nor any obvious signs of a major merger event. There is some minor irregularity at the edges of the halo, possibly indicating a minor disturbance or interaction with a smaller object. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a massive, relatively quiescent system that is red-and-dead.
