The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, with a primarily smooth light distribution and a notable lack of prominent spiral arms or dust lanes. It is characterized by a concentrated central bulge which is bright and yellowish. Fainter and more diffuse bluish light surrounds the central bulge, possibly indicating a low amount of on-going star formation. The galaxy is slightly elongated in shape but has a fairly regular, well-defined overall structure. There is the suggestion of some tidal debris in the form of faint streams, possibly indicating a past or ongoing minor merger event.
