The galaxy appears to be elliptical in shape, with a smooth, concentrated light profile, but with a slightly disturbed appearance, so perhaps undergoing a minor merger. It exhibits a yellowish-white hue in its central region, suggesting a population of older stars. There is no obvious dust lane or spiral arm structure visible, which supports the elliptical classification, and lack of recent star formation. The galaxy is relatively compact, and at its apparent brightness, it may be a moderate to high mass galaxy.
