The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its shape is elliptical, exhibiting a slight elongation that suggests it is not perfectly spherical. The central region displays a high degree of surface brightness, indicating a dense concentration of stars. Moving outwards from the core, the light gradually diminishes, with the outer regions appearing more diffuse and indistinct. There is a subtle color gradient visible, with the core exhibiting a yellower or redder hue compared to the fainter, bluer outer regions. This color difference suggests an older stellar population is dominant in the galactic nucleus, while younger, bluer stars may be present in the outer disk or halo. No prominent spiral arms or distinct dust lanes are discernible in the image, reinforcing the galaxy's classification as a relatively quiescent elliptical galaxy. There is a potential faint tidal feature to the north which requires more investigation to determine if it is truly associated with this galaxy.
