The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical-shaped object. It has a concentrated central bulge that exhibits a yellowish hue. There is little evidence of spiral arm structure. The outer regions of the galaxy are less defined, with a more diffuse light distribution than the inner regions. The galaxy is elongated, but it does not have a highly flattened or cigar-like appearance. There is little evidence of any major merging or tidal disturbances, though some minor asymmetry is apparent. The overall color suggests a population of older stars, with lower star formation activity.
