The galaxy presents an elliptical morphology, elongated in shape, with an indication of tidal disturbance and perhaps a merger in progress. There is a secondary condensation of light slightly offset from the galaxy's core. This could be a smaller galaxy in the process of merging, or a region of heightened star formation triggered by an interaction. The primary body of the galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth appearance with a centrally concentrated bulge, and possibly some dust lanes. Color gradients suggest variations in stellar populations. The overall color is slightly reddish, indicating a mature stellar population, but some blueish hues are present implying ongoing, albeit moderate, star formation.
