The galaxy appears as a relatively smooth, elliptical-shaped object with a concentrated central bulge. The light distribution appears mostly uniform, lacking distinct spiral arms or prominent features. The color profile is mostly a pale yellow, but is slightly redder in the center. There is a gradual fading of the color and intensity of the light from the center outward. The visual impression is that of an evolved system, possibly a giant elliptical galaxy at a considerable distance, as suggested by its apparent size and redshift. Given the smoothness and lack of spiral structure, ongoing star formation appears to be relatively low. There is no evidence of any major mergers, tidal tails, or morphological disturbances.
