The galaxy appears as a fairly smooth, elliptical object. It exhibits a concentrated central bulge, which gradually fades into a less dense outer region. The overall color is yellowish-orange, suggesting a population of older stars. There is little evidence of spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. The galaxy's shape is somewhat elongated, deviating slightly from a perfect circular appearance. There are no signs of major mergers or tidal disturbances, though a minor asymmetry can not be ruled out. Overall, the galaxy presents characteristics consistent with a relatively massive and quiescent system.
