The galaxy appears as a moderately bright, somewhat diffuse object. Its overall morphology suggests a relatively smooth structure, lacking prominent spiral arms or a well-defined disk. There is a slight elongation but it is largely in between round and cigar shaped. A very faint hint of a disturbed structure may be present, indicative of a possible past interaction or minor merging event. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, with a brighter, bluer core transitioning to a redder halo, a potential sign of ongoing or recent star formation concentrated in the central regions and an older stellar population in the outer regions. The central region dominates the light output, a signature of a massive galaxy.
