The galaxy presents as a well-defined spiral, exhibiting a pronounced disk structure. The spiral arms are readily apparent, displaying a grand design with clear bifurcations and a high degree of symmetry. A stellar bulge is visible in the central region, and appears moderate in size relative to the disk. There is no obvious strong central bar feature. The disk shows a gradient of color; the spiral arms have a bluish hue suggesting star formation, while the central bulge shows a relatively redder color. The disk appears to be face on with only a slight tilt. There is no clear evidence of a major merger event, however minor disturbances cannot be ruled out.
