The galaxy presents a generally smooth morphology, suggesting a likely elliptical or lenticular classification. There may be some very slight disturbances. The galaxy appears somewhat centrally concentrated, with a noticeable falloff in luminosity moving outwards from the core. Its shape is neither perfectly spherical, nor significantly elongated, appearing slightly in between. The color profile shows an overall reddish-yellow hue, indicative of a population of older stars and a lower rate of ongoing star formation. There may be some interaction with the upper mass in the image, though it does not appear to be a major disturbance.
