The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical or lenticular system. There is a concentrated, bright central bulge that dominates the overall structure. The light distribution suggests an older stellar population. The galaxy is predominantly a yellow-white hue, typical of evolved stars, but there is a stream of purple matter coming off of the galaxy. It exhibits minimal evidence of ongoing star formation. The overall shape is fairly circular, with a slight deviation from perfect symmetry. There is a minor disturbance nearby, but not a full scale merger.
