The galaxy appears as a disk galaxy, viewed at a high inclination, nearly edge-on from our perspective. The central bulge is prominent, exhibiting a bright, concentrated luminosity. The bulge's color profile appears more yellow-white, suggestive of an older stellar population.

The disk component displays a striking, complex structure. A dark dust lane is visible, bisecting the galaxy and obscuring light from the far side of the disk. The disk itself shows a mottled texture, possibly indicating star formation regions or irregular dust distribution. Evidence of reddish emission along the edges of the disk may be indicative of H-alpha emission regions or the presence of dust.

The outer edges of the galaxy fade into a faint, diffuse halo. There is a slight asymmetry in the distribution of light around the disk, which might imply a minor disturbance or tidal interaction. The light from the galaxy is not uniform, perhaps due to ongoing merger activity, but further investigation would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.
