The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated object with a smooth, somewhat elliptical morphology. The core exhibits a high surface brightness, displaying a yellowish-white hue suggestive of an older stellar population dominating the central region. Moving outwards from the core, the galaxy displays a faint, diffuse halo that is more reddish in color. There is a very slight hint of spiral arm structure, however the light from these regions are not easily defined, so that the object mostly appears to be either an elliptical, or possibly a very tightly wound spiral galaxy. No significant tidal features or signs of recent major mergers are evident in the image, although some minor asymmetry might suggest possible past interactions or minor disturbances. Based on color gradients, star formation activity appears to be significantly lower within the core than in the outer regions of the galaxy.
