The galaxy appears as a centrally concentrated object with a prominent bulge. The morphology indicates it is likely an elliptical galaxy, or a spiral galaxy seen face-on. There is a clear spheroidal component, judging by the smooth, diffuse light distribution. There is a color gradient from the center outwards; the core is a yellow-orange hue, indicative of an older stellar population, which is consistent with a mass of around 10^10 solar masses. The outer regions exhibit a bluer tint. The object is somewhat elongated, possibly of cigar shape. No signs of strong tidal disturbances or merging activity are apparent. There is only a very slight suggestion of a disk component.
