This galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, viewed at an oblique angle to our line of sight. It exhibits a prominent central bulge, characterized by a bright, yellowish-white color, suggestive of an older stellar population. The disk is relatively smooth, with a hint of spiral structure subtly visible and tightly wound, indicating a lack of significant recent star formation. Dust lanes are not readily apparent. The overall shape is elongated with hints of roundedness, leaning away from being cigar-shaped. There are no obvious signs of a major merger or significant tidal disturbances. The color gradient shifts gradually from the yellow-white center to a slightly redder hue in the outer regions of the disk.
