The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a concentrated central bulge that emits strongly in the redder wavelengths, implying an older stellar population. There is a slight disk visible with minimal spiral arm structure. The light distribution from the bulge fades gradually into the surrounding halo, with the galaxy appearing somewhat elliptical in overall shape. The light from the galaxy is relatively faint, suggesting a considerable distance. There might be faint disturbances or asymmetries indicating minor interactions, but the overall form remains largely undisturbed. There is a very low rate of star formation occurring within this galaxy.
