The galaxy appears to be generally elliptical, with a significant spheroidal component. The light is concentrated towards the center, suggesting a bright galactic nucleus. There seems to be a slight asymmetry to its shape; the concentration of light appears shifted off center, possibly indicating a previous merger or tidal interaction.

The color gradient is striking. The central region exhibits a yellowish hue, transitioning to reddish tones in the outer regions. This could signify variations in stellar populations, with older, redder stars dominating the outskirts and younger, hotter stars concentrated toward the core. The strong red light observed to one side could indicate a burst of star formation is ongoing, with this burst partially obscured by dust, or could be the core of a galaxy being cannibalised following a merge. A lack of defined spiral arms or a distinct disk is also noted, although the asymmetry could be the result of a disk being distorted following a merger event.
