The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth object with a slightly elongated, elliptical morphology. It is primarily bluish in color, suggesting a relatively young stellar population or ongoing star formation. The light appears centrally concentrated, with a gradual falloff in intensity towards the outer regions. There is little indication of spiral arm structure or prominent dust lanes; the galaxy seems to be mostly spheroidal. It has an intermediate roundness, appearing more like a slightly elongated disk than a cigar shape. There is some evidence of a minor disturbance.
