The galaxy presents as a spiral structure, with a prominent central bulge exhibiting a yellowish-white hue, indicative of an older stellar population. Fainter spiral arms extend outwards from the bulge, showing a bluer color, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. The arms appear somewhat flocculent and asymmetrical, not tightly wound. There is evidence of dust lanes within the spiral arms, particularly on the near side of the galactic disk, obscuring some of the starlight. The galaxy displays a relatively high degree of inclination. The outer regions fade into a less distinct halo, and there are indications of a moderate sized bar feature in the central region. Overall, the galaxy is a spiral type with a noticeable bulge, loosely defined spiral arms, and dust obscuration.
