The galaxy presents as a moderately bright, yellowish-white object of considerable angular size. The light appears generally smooth. A hint of possible tidal features are also present, or a minor merging event. The galaxy appears as either having an elliptical shape, or being a late spiral galaxy with tightly wound arms, viewed at an oblique angle. It shows characteristics of a relatively evolved system with little recent star formation. A general lack of bright blue regions indicates a low rate of on-going star formation. There is a weak central yellow-colored bulge. No dust lanes are clearly visible. The overall morphology suggests a system transitioning towards a more quiescent state.
