The galaxy presents as a largely smooth, centrally concentrated object. Its overall color appears slightly blue, hinting at the presence of a younger stellar population relative to a purely red and dead elliptical. It is fairly circular. There are no obvious spiral arm structures or strong irregularities visible, suggesting that the galaxy is relatively undisturbed. There is no obvious dust lane. While the bulk of the galaxy is generally smooth, its diffuse outer regions suggest that it might be a disk galaxy or a remnant of one. Given its apparent mass and lack of strong star formation, it can be described as a galaxy trending toward a later stage of evolution.
