The galaxy presents as a roughly elliptical form. The central region exhibits a significantly higher surface brightness, appearing as a bright, concentrated core. Surrounding this core is a less luminous, more diffuse halo of light. The colour profile appears somewhat blue, particularly in the halo region. There are some redder features in the outskirts. These features appear somewhat irregular. Overall, the galaxy does not appear to be perfectly smooth, but it also is not a grand design spiral. The shape of this galaxy is difficult to determine with accuracy, as there is some evidence of disturbance in its morphology.
