The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, flattened spheroid with a moderate axis ratio. The dominant color is a bluish-white, suggesting a population of young, hot stars, with a prominent but thin, yellowish ring. This ring feature appears to be oriented roughly perpendicular to the galaxy's major axis. There is little evidence of distinct spiral arms or significant dust lanes, but the relatively even color distribution indicates a lack of ongoing star formation. The spheroid appears to be largely undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal features.
