The galaxy appears as a somewhat elliptical, diffuse object with a relatively smooth texture. There is a bright, centrally located region which may indicate a galactic bulge. The overall color gradient suggests a redder core transitioning to bluer outer regions. The redder hue in the central region suggests an older stellar population, possibly indicating that the star formation rate is suppressed compared to the outer regions. The bluer regions indicate active star formation. The shape can be described more as "in between" than fully round or cigar-shaped, and it does not appear to be undergoing a major merger, although it has a slight asymmetry that could be a result of a past minor interaction.
