The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical structure with a concentrated central bulge. There is a lack of distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. The overall color profile suggests an older stellar population, dominated by redder wavelengths, although some bluer emissions are present indicating some recent star formation. The galaxy appears somewhat elongated, trending toward a cigar-like shape. There is a possibility of minor gravitational disturbance as indicated by a slight asymmetry in its overall form, but the galaxy is not in a stage of major merging activity.
