The galaxy presents a largely smooth, elliptical morphology, exhibiting a central, concentrated bulge region. The color gradient suggests a population of older stars concentrated within the core, indicated by the yellowish-orange hue. Moving outward from the center, the galaxy appears slightly bluer, indicating a younger stellar population in the outer regions. The isophotes are generally regular and elliptical, however there seems to be a slight tidal disturbance. This disturbance may be interacting with a smaller companion galaxy, which could be responsible for the minor morphological irregularities observed. The galaxy is an intermediate spiral galaxy, exhibiting active star formation at a rate that is not particularly high or low for galaxies of its type.
