The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated object with an overall smooth appearance. Its shape appears to be somewhere between round and elongated. There is a slight, extended halo, which appears to fade gradually outward. The central region is significantly brighter than the outer regions, indicating a possible concentration of older stars or a bright galactic nucleus. There are no discernible spiral arms or dust lanes, leading to a classification as likely elliptical or lenticular, tending towards smooth morphology. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing any major mergers or tidal interactions, although there are slight irregularities, possibly suggesting a minor past interaction. Color gradients suggest a potential variation in stellar populations across the galaxy, with the central bulge appearing slightly more red than the outer regions.
