The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth and concentrated object. It exhibits a bright, centrally located core that gradually fades into a less luminous, diffuse halo. The overall shape appears to be elliptical, being more extended in one direction than the other, although it does not appear cigar-shaped. No distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are discernible in the image, indicating a lack of significant recent major mergers and an older stellar population. The color appears generally blue, suggesting some ongoing, but moderate, star formation activity is occurring. There is no obvious evidence of major tidal disturbances or ongoing mergers.
