The galaxy exhibits an elliptical morphology with a moderate axial ratio, appearing somewhat flattened. Its overall color is relatively blue, suggestive of recent or ongoing star formation. There is an apparent concentration of bluer light on one side of the galaxy, possibly indicating a region of enhanced star formation. The surface brightness appears relatively smooth, however, the morphology seems slightly disturbed perhaps indicating the presence of a minor merger. HI observations indicate the presence of significant neutral hydrogen.
