This galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy of moderate size. The central bulge is bright and somewhat diffuse, with a yellowish-white color, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter, diffuse light extends outward from the central bulge, creating a relatively smooth halo. There is a slight elongation in the horizontal direction. Some dust lanes or faint spiral arms may be present, but are not well defined. There appear to be regions of possible star formation, based on the faint blue hue on the edge of the central part of the galaxy. It appears that there are some tidal disturbances in the vicinity of the galaxy, based on the irregular shape and possible interactions with small galaxies nearby.
