The galaxy appears as a centrally concentrated, relatively smooth object. Its overall shape is somewhat elliptical. There is a distinct yellowish-orange hue to the core region, suggesting an older stellar population. The outer regions of the galaxy show a subtle transition to a slightly bluer color, indicating the presence of some younger stars, though the overall star formation rate appears subdued. There may be some signs of minor tidal disturbances, but the galaxy is generally undisturbed. It is a relatively massive galaxy.
