The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its overall color appears bluish, suggesting a population of young, hot stars contributing significantly to its luminosity, although it could be the result of the redshift of an otherwise redder galaxy. The light distribution indicates a generally elliptical morphology, with the majority of the light concentrated in the core, and a more diffuse glow extending outwards. There's little evidence of strong spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. It could be a result of some minor gravitational disturbance, as subtle asymmetries are observed in the outer regions of the galaxy. No bright knots of star formation are readily apparent. Overall, the galaxy appears relatively undisturbed and quiescent in the visible spectrum.
