The galaxy presents as a fairly smooth, centrally concentrated object. It appears elliptical in shape, with a moderate ellipticity, displaying a roughly cigar-like form. There is little evidence of spiral arms or other distinct features like bars or rings. The galaxy exhibits a color gradient, appearing somewhat bluer towards the outer regions and redder towards the core, possibly indicating a difference in stellar populations. The relative smoothness, shape, and color gradient could indicate a mature elliptical galaxy. There are only minor indications of disturbances of a possible minor merger.
