The galaxy presents as a luminous, elliptical object with a high degree of central concentration. The core exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, indicative of an older stellar population. The galaxy has a cigar-shaped morphology and appears relatively smooth, with little evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. There is a suggestion of a faint, diffuse halo extending outwards from the central bulge, exhibiting a bluer tint, possibly indicative of some recent star formation. There is no readily apparent sign of an ongoing major merger, though some minor disturbance is possible. Overall, the galaxy's color and morphology suggest it is a relatively massive, evolved system.
