The galaxy appears as a somewhat elliptical, though moderately elongated, object. It has a smooth, centrally concentrated luminosity profile, suggestive of an early-type morphology. The color is generally red, indicative of an older stellar population with ongoing star formation. Faint wisps of bluer light are visible toward one edge of the galaxy, hinting at possible tidal features or recent star formation activity in that region. There is no obvious spiral structure or distinct nucleus visible in the image. Based on the morphology, it would not be surprising if this galaxy is exhibiting characteristics of an elliptical galaxy, but may have some of the early features of a spiral. There are no signs of on-going mergers, but it cannot be ruled out that a merger has occurred in its past.
