The galaxy appears as a slightly elliptical, luminous object with a smooth, concentrated central bulge. The overall color is yellowish-white, which indicates a population of older stars and a relatively low rate of ongoing star formation. The galaxy has an estimated effective radius of approximately 7 kiloparsecs. A faint, reddish plume extends from the core of the galaxy. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed with no obvious signs of a major merger, though possible minor distortions could suggest a small interaction.
