The galaxy presents as a roughly elliptical, somewhat diffuse object. Its core is a bright, concentrated region that graduates in luminosity outward towards the galactic edges. The color of the central region appears slightly redder or more yellow compared to the outer portions. There are subtle suggestions of spiral arm structures or features in the surrounding disc, though these are not clearly defined. The general appearance is of a galaxy that may be undergoing, or have recently undergone, a period of active star formation, as indicated by its overall color profile. Faint tidal features may be present but are hard to identify, suggesting the galaxy has possibly experienced a minor gravitational disturbance.
