The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elliptical-like structure with an apparent lack of prominent spiral arms. The central bulge is bright and appears yellowish-white, suggesting an older stellar population. Fainter, bluer light is observed in what might be considered a disk component, extending outwards from the central bulge, indicating ongoing, though possibly subdued, star formation in this outer region. The galaxy is elongated in shape, appearing cigar-like. There is little evidence of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in the immediate vicinity of the galaxy, though there may be some minor irregularity to the galaxy's shape.
