The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, exhibiting a smooth, featureless morphology. It has a moderate apparent size, and the overall shape is somewhat elongated, approaching a cigar-like form. The central region displays a higher surface brightness, suggesting a concentration of stars toward the core. The color is generally whitish-blue, becoming more reddish towards the outer edges. There is little evidence of spiral arms or dust lanes. The smooth light distribution and morphology indicates a galaxy dominated by an older stellar population. There is a very minor indication of disturbance or faint structures, so there may have been a merger in the distant past. Overall it is a fairly average mass galaxy, with relatively low current star forming activity.
