The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure with a prominent bulge. Its color suggests a relatively old stellar population, with a dominant yellowish-orange hue indicating a lack of significant ongoing star formation. There is a faint suggestion of a disk, or perhaps disturbed tidal features, as indicated by a slight asymmetry and faint extensions. Based on morphological data, merging may be occuring. The presence of the fainter and bluer object nearby does possibly indicate a tidal interaction or merger event in progress. The light distribution suggests the galaxy is moderately massive. Its spheroidal appearance and color support a classification as an early-type galaxy.
