The galaxy presents as a merging system, likely in the late stages of interaction. There are two apparent nuclei, one considerably more luminous than the other. Both galactic components appear to be relatively smooth in texture, suggestive of elliptical or spheroidal morphology, though some disk features cannot be fully ruled out due to the distortion caused by the ongoing merger. The overall shape of the system is elongated, with a suggestion of tidal tails or disrupted structures extending outwards, particularly from the less luminous component. The color gradient is subtle, with a generally yellowish hue that intensifies toward the core, perhaps indicating an older stellar population and relatively low levels of ongoing star formation. Evidence of significant dust lanes is not readily apparent in the image, though the resolution is limited. A disturbance between the two merging components appears significant, potentially related to the merger. The larger galaxy appears rounder than the smaller.
