The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its overall shape is somewhat elliptical, leaning towards an intermediate spheroidal form rather than a distinctly flattened disk or elongated cigar shape. The central region appears brighter and more yellowish, suggesting an older stellar population, while the outer regions are more subdued and slightly bluer, possibly indicating some ongoing, albeit low, levels of star formation. There is no obvious spiral structure or significant dust lane apparent. Close inspection does not clearly indicate any ongoing major merger or strong tidal disturbances. There is a second smaller galaxy nearby that appears smaller and bluer.
