The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, somewhat elliptical object. The dominant color is a yellow-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population and a diminished rate of star formation. There is little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. A smaller, less luminous companion galaxy is visible in close proximity, possibly gravitationally interacting. The galaxy appears relatively round in shape. No strong signs of an ongoing major merger event are readily apparent, although there may be a slight asymmetry suggesting minor gravitational disturbance.
