The galaxy presents a somewhat smooth, elliptical appearance with a slight elongation. Its core appears diffuse with a concentration of light in the center. The overall color is primarily reddish-orange, suggesting a population of older stars, although there are areas of blue visible as well, implying some on-going star formation. There is no obvious spiral structure. There are no noticeable tidal tails, or distortions, but the edges are very indistinct. The galaxy appears to be located at significant cosmological distance given its redshift and size.
