The galaxy presents a largely smooth, elliptical morphology with a high degree of central concentration. The primary color is a warm yellow-white, suggestive of an older stellar population. The luminosity appears brightest near the center, with intensity gradually decreasing outwards. There is little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. The overall shape is elongated, with a ratio of major to minor axes significantly greater than unity, but not so much that it appears cigar-shaped. There is a very slight hint of bluer emission on the galaxy's periphery, although the overall color remains consistent with an older stellar population. No strong tidal features or obvious signs of a major merger event are apparent in the immediate vicinity. Very minor distortions, such as faint wisps, may exist, but these are barely resolvable.
