The galaxy presents as a largely elliptical structure with a smooth, diffuse light distribution. Its color is predominantly reddish-yellow, suggesting a population of older stars with lower levels of on-going star formation. There is a slight suggestion of greenish regions, possibly indicating areas of ionized gas, but these are not prominent. The galaxy exhibits a mostly uniform morphology with no obvious spiral arm structures or significant dust lanes visible. A slight elongation is suggested, though not distinctly cigar-shaped, and no merging signatures or major disturbances are evident.
