The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, somewhat diffuse object with an overall elliptical morphology. There's a clear central concentration of light, suggesting a bulge or core region. The galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth texture, with a gradual decrease in light intensity moving outward from the core. Subtle variations in color are visible, with a tendency towards bluer hues in the outer regions of the galaxy and a slightly redder, yellower tone in the central bulge. No prominent spiral arms or distinct features are readily apparent; the overall impression is of a galaxy with a well-mixed stellar population. The apparent smoothness suggests a classification somewhere between an elliptical galaxy and a lenticular galaxy or a face-on spiral galaxy with tightly wound arms.
