The galaxy presents as a moderately sized, relatively smooth object. It appears to be an elliptical galaxy, elongated in shape, with a cigar-like morphology. A dominant, bright central bulge is observed. The overall color is somewhat redder, with subtle variations across the galaxy, suggesting a slightly older stellar population. No spiral arm structure or obvious dust lanes are visible. There is no indication of a major ongoing merger, although a minor disturbance cannot be ruled out.
