The galaxy presents as an elliptical or lenticular-like structure, exhibiting a smooth, concentrated central bulge which seems to emanate the most light. There is some visible structure surrounding the center which has a clumpy look to it, possibly indicative of features or a disk, but overall the light is diffuse and lacks sharp definition. The galaxy has an overall reddish-orange hue, suggesting a population of older stars or considerable dust obscuration. No distinct spiral arms are apparent. There is a moderate level of star formation activity. The galaxy does not appear to be strongly interacting or merging with another galaxy.
