The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its overall shape is somewhat elongated, appearing as an ellipse, though close to round. There is a bright central bulge that dominates the galaxy's luminosity. The light from this bulge is white, with the bulk of the galaxy having a blueish tint. A thin, faint red band goes through the middle of the galaxy. There are no distinct spiral arms or prominent features, and no signs of a major ongoing merger event. Faint irregularities are visible in the outer regions, possibly indicative of minor disturbances, but the overall structure appears largely undisturbed. The galaxy is not very dusty, and it shows signs of ongoing star formation.
