The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical type. It has a bright, concentrated central bulge with a gradual decrease in luminosity outward. The galaxy's overall color is reddish-yellow, suggesting a population of older stars with lower ongoing star formation. There is a slight asymmetry in its shape; it may be transitioning from a disk galaxy to a more spherical shape, or it might be the result of a minor interaction with another galactic body. There are some possible features in the form of faint disk-like structures or spiral arms, but they are extremely weak and indistinct. There does not appear to be any major ongoing merging activity present, but a very faint plume or tidal tail could indicate a past or minor merger event. The object is relatively compact in apparent size.
