This galaxy presents as a spiral galaxy seen almost perfectly edge-on from our vantage point. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring a significant portion of the stellar light from the galactic disk. This suggests a relatively high inclination angle to our line of sight. The central bulge appears somewhat elongated and not perfectly spherical.

There is a faint hint of what could be spiral arm structure visible on the edges of the galaxy, particularly towards the top-left. This is suggestive of active star formation regions. The overall color of the disk is somewhat reddish, indicating an older stellar population and significant dust extinction. The reddish hue is more prominent in the outer edges. The bulge appears yellower and denser, likely composed of older stars. 

There does not appear to be any significant tidal disturbance or evidence of a major ongoing merger event, but the faintness of the galaxy suggests the possibility of a minor interaction. The galaxy has a relatively smooth overall appearance with a fraction of features.
