The galaxy presents as an elliptical system, appearing largely smooth with a high degree of central concentration of light. The primary body of the galaxy is elongated, but not strongly so, appearing more oval than cigar-shaped. There is an apparent asymmetry in the light distribution, with a brighter, more concentrated core region surrounded by a fainter, more diffuse halo. A faint, disturbed arm is visible on one side of the galaxy. The color profile suggests an older stellar population within the core, trending toward redder hues, and a younger stellar population exists in the surrounding regions, indicated by the bluer tinges along the faint outer edges and within the disturbed arm. There is no strong evidence of ongoing major mergers.
