The galaxy presents as a relatively compact object. It appears to be mostly smooth in structure with a central bulge that transitions into a slightly elongated shape. The color gradient suggests a generally older stellar population, although there is a bluer, potentially star-forming region present. There might be some form of minor tidal distortion but could also be a companion. There is a possibility of a minor merger event or interaction in the recent past, but this is uncertain from the image alone. It could be argued this galaxy is evolving to become an elliptical galaxy.
