The galaxy presents as an elliptical or lenticular type, exhibiting a generally smooth light distribution. The object's color is predominantly yellowish-orange, suggesting an older stellar population with relatively little ongoing star formation. The shape is close to that of an ellipse, with moderate ellipticity, appearing more "in between" a perfect circle and cigar shaped. There appears to be no pronounced spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. There is a slight irregularity at one point of the galaxy, perhaps indicating a tidal interaction or minor disturbance. Overall, the galaxy is consistent with a relatively massive, quiescent system.
