The galaxy appears as a primarily smooth object, showing characteristics of an elliptical or lenticular galaxy at a considerable distance. The central region exhibits a bright, concentrated luminosity. The galaxy's shape is neither perfectly circular nor highly elongated, trending towards an intermediate elliptical form. There is some slight visual asymmetry, but no strong indication of recent major mergers or tidal disturbances. There may be a minor disturbance, or minor merger occurring. Color gradients suggest that the core may be dominated by older stellar populations. The observed color is shifted towards the redder end of the spectrum.
