This galaxy appears to be undergoing a significant interaction or merger. There is a primary, more centrally condensed component, and an apparent secondary component in close proximity. The main component has a generally smooth morphology, suggesting an elliptical or lenticular classification, although the interaction complicates a definitive assignment. Its light profile is concentrated towards the core, with a gradual decline in intensity outwards. The color is somewhat redder, indicative of an older stellar population and possibly a lower rate of ongoing star formation, however, there are some patches of bluer light especially in the outer regions.

The secondary component exhibits a less-defined structure and a bluer color, which could indicate a younger stellar population and active star formation. The proximity and the disturbed morphology strongly suggest tidal interactions between the two galaxies, possibly leading to a complete merger in the future. There also is the possibility of an interaction between the galaxy and one or more smaller objects, though the image resolution limits conclusive statements on the details of the merging.
