The galaxy presents as a somewhat elliptical structure with a relatively smooth appearance, suggesting it could be an early-type galaxy. There is no clear evidence of spiral arms or a prominent disk. The light profile is concentrated, with a bright central core that decreases in intensity outwards. There appear to be three distinct, bright knots within the central region. The galaxy exhibits a reddish hue, which may indicate an older stellar population and reduced levels of on-going star formation. Some evidence of possible tidal disturbances exists. This could suggest past or ongoing interactions with another galaxy. Overall, the galaxy appears moderately massive, likely on the larger end of the scale, and is relatively distant given its redshift of 0.171434.
