The galaxy appears as a slightly elongated spheroid, with a relatively smooth, diffuse light distribution. Its colour is predominantly yellow, suggesting an older stellar population. The galaxy's core shows slightly higher concentration, and the suggestion of a minor tidal stream. There are a few spots of blue colour visible, which may indicate some ongoing star formation, but it is limited. There is evidence of an ongoing or recent merger event, as the galaxy is not entirely relaxed in shape. Overall, the galaxy appears to be a massive, quiescent elliptical experiencing the late stages of a merger.
