The galaxy appears to be in the process of merging with another, smaller galaxy. The larger galaxy has a relatively smooth, elliptical morphology, with a concentrated central bulge. The color gradient suggests an older stellar population, with a yellowish hue dominating. There is, however, some evidence of bluer regions, potentially indicating ongoing star formation. It shows an absolute magnitude indicative of a bright galaxy.

The smaller galaxy exhibits a somewhat disk-like morphology with a similar color profile to the primary galaxy, and is in close proximity. The overall system appears moderately disturbed, suggesting tidal interactions. The disturbance is mainly visible through the offset location of the two galaxies. There is minimal distortion of either galaxy, indicating the interaction is likely in its early stages.
