The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated object, roughly elliptical in shape. The core region exhibits a yellow-orange hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population. There is an absence of well-defined spiral arm structures or prominent dust lanes. A much smaller, much dimmer, more reddened, and similarly smooth body appears off to the side of the central galaxy, but is likely part of the system.

The smoothness of the light distribution is suggestive of a more evolved system, potentially an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed face-on, and its moderate redshift suggests that it is at an appreciable distance. The lack of blue light suggests that there may be a low ongoing star formation rate. Overall, the object appears to be a substantial, relatively relaxed galaxy.
