The galaxy presents as a generally smooth, disk-like structure seen at a significant inclination. It appears to have an elliptical shape. The central region is noticeably brighter and more yellowish in color than the outer disk. The outer regions of the disk appear more blue, though they seem subdued, without noticeable spiral arm features. No obvious signs of a recent major merger are apparent, though there may be minor irregularities or disturbances in the disk, given its shape. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a relatively massive and luminous system.
