The galaxy presents a generally smooth, elliptical morphology.  It appears roughly spherical with a high degree of central concentration as indicated by the bright, yellowish core that gently diffuses outwards. There is a gradual decline in surface brightness away from the center.  A faint blueish halo surrounds the yellowish core.  No spiral arm structures or dust lanes are discernible. The overall impression is of a relaxed, well-mixed system, with little evidence of recent major mergers or significant ongoing star formation. The galaxy appears to be a large and massive system.
