The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated, smooth object with a moderate ellipticity. The primary color is a yellowish-white, suggesting a population dominated by older stars. There is a faint, diffuse halo or outer region that fades gradually into the background sky. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are visible in this image. There is no visual evidence of a recent major merger or significant tidal disturbance, though a subtle irregularity in the outer isophotes cannot be ruled out. The overall impression is that of a relatively evolved, quiescent system.
