The galaxy appears as a somewhat elliptical, unresolved object. A concentrated, bright central bulge is apparent, exhibiting a yellowish-white hue. The surrounding disk or halo structure displays a bluer color, although the distinction is not sharply defined. The overall structure is relatively smooth, showing little evidence of spiral arm features or significant dust lanes. There is a slight elongation, suggesting a shape that is not perfectly spherical. No signs of major tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers are visibly discernible.
