The galaxy presents as an elliptical or lenticular type system, exhibiting a generally smooth and centrally concentrated luminosity profile. The core is a bright, yellowish-white, suggesting a relatively old stellar population. Moving outward from the core, there's a gradual decrease in surface brightness with a slight bluing in the outer regions, possibly indicating the presence of younger, bluer stars in what may be a faint disk. The elongation suggests a non-spherical shape, tending more toward a flattened spheroid. There may be faint hints of spiral structure or tidal disturbances visible, indicating the potential for past interactions or mergers, though the dominant impression is of a well-relaxed, relatively undisturbed system. There's a smooth transition from the inner to outer regions with no apparent dust lanes obscuring the galaxy.
