The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a concentrated central bulge exhibiting a yellowish hue. There is an apparent disk component, although it is not sharply defined. The shape of the galaxy is somewhere between round and elongated. There are suggestions of minor disturbances in the overall structure, but it does not seem to be a major merger event. A faint, diffuse halo appears to surround the central region. The color gradients suggest a population of older stars concentrated in the bulge. The relative brightness in different wavelengths reveals an overall high mass and low star forming properties for a galaxy at its estimated distance.
